I have been listening for them but barely hear them on 80 and never once yet on 160. Amazingly I worked them on 40 through the bastards QRMing on their frequency. I can't think of any DXpedetion I ha

I still think for the most part that 160 is the most gentlemen's band of all of the HF bands. I think the one thing that makes a barrier to the masses are the antenna requirements. I believe there ar
