I thought conditions on 160M to EU were very nice in the Summer Stew. Helped that there was zero local thunderstorm noise and I'm guessing was good weather in EU too. Tim N3QE _________________ Topba

I much prefer stranded 18AWG for my "roll out on top of lawn and driveway" radials. Stranded is more likely to stay flat on the ground than solid. The solid likes to remembers the curl of being wound

I would put reversibility high on your list because you could potentially pick up more points from LP or QRP stations to the west, than from EU. I myself hope to get my array of Two phased K9AYs bac

I looked at my past logs for patterns, and I might hazard a guess that holding the Stew nearly a week before Christmas, will enhance EU numbers compared to some recent years where it was run between

Holding the Stew this in a weekend before Christmas, rather than between Christmas and New Years, seems to have substantially boosted EU participation this year. This is over and above the very nice
