It's nice to hear the band back in good shape again after a few years. Big CW signal from W4EF in CA this morning along with ZL3IX, also a string of JAs/HL earlier this week. Let's keep the 160 CW ac

David G3WGN, I'm sure you must have some tall trees down there in the Dart Valley! You could save yourself a bundle in shipping charges alone by putting up a simple wire inverted 'L' or a 'T'. Use a

Just to add to the discussion on band conditions, Mike W4EF near LA was romping into UK this morning, Tuesday at 0800 sunrise, peaking 8 to 9 and Larry N7DD was well over the 9. Apart from those two,

Hello Greg, Just to say thanks a million for the countless 160 metre QSOs we have had, mainly at UK sunrise, over the past 15 years. Your remote station receiving capability has always amazed me. I c

Steve, For comparison my inverted-L is similar to yours with a 94 ft vertical section and 43 ft horizontal (ish). It is on a tall tree, not a tower. Like you, I use an L-network to match it and get a

For many years after I was licensed in 1960, we were limited in G-land to 10 watts input to the PA (not output). So working DX was a major achievement, although there were quite a few 'fat watts' aro

Sorry Jim K9YC but it is incorrect to say that a loading coil at the base of an antenna, which is less than a quarter wave, will affect the high current point of the antenna. Assuming the coil is pur

Some loud signals last night especially from K2KW, W9RE, K1ZM, N4IS and WD8DSB. Nice to hear some good CW DX activity on the band! ZS1C was working into the East Coast but was inaudible here. 73, Tom

Some big sigs at 0400 this morning on CW (of course) from K1ZM and N1QV, K1ZTQ, W1AO, AC4TO & KR2Q. The QRN was also peaking S9, so apologies to those who called and I missed. 73 Tom G3OLB __________
