Hi All Despite being a keen 160m DX-er for the past 45 years, I've just finally joined this Reflector ! So I'm looking forward to reading 160m related posts. What made me decide to join was reading t

I appreciate the point about trying to get youngsters interested in the hobby . . . However, the trouble with the computer-based Digital modes is that there is no SKILL involved in having a contact -

Well, I spent a few hours on the CQ WW last night, trying to pick out DX amongst all the strong European stations . . . Didn't hear a single North American station ! (even though I'm sure all the big

I had never used baluns on any antennas for 45 years . . . But about a year ago I made a couple of ferrite choke baluns . . . one for my 160m dipole, one for my W3DZZ, just to see if made any differe

Yes, managed to work a few more stateside stations on SSB in the CQ WW contest last night. But because of the clocks going forward to GMT, woke up an hour after sunrise, so missed checking the band t

There are usually several of us Europeans on at around our Sunrise (about 0630Z) . . . But even though the band is open (as you can see on RBN), no stations about to work ! Roger G3YRO ______________

Hi Trevor Read Joe, W4TV's answer again ! The coil should be whatever inductance you need to resonate your slightly short antenna . . . then you can use that coil as an auto-transformer to get a good

Well as our Sunrise seems to be too late in the night for many people, I came on at 0400 last night . . . surely that's not too late over there? The band was clearly open (got a +48dB RBN report from

It seems to me that DX conditions have been pretty poor for the past 10 years on 160m . . . But apart from generally being poor (even when the band is open), there is something strange I have noticed

I meant to add that as well as having a better signal/noise ratio than my main antenna, it's particularly useful in a Contest, like this weekend's CQWW. It makes it easier to pick out the DX signals

That's a nice cheap board, and worth using considering it has relay switching too . . . However, the circuit seems odd . . . I used transformers in and out on my Loop Preamp, to give a match to 50 oh

Hi Don Gosh, really? Looking at the circuit, and given the resistors used, I would have thought the input impedance would be about 800 ohms . . . And hard to estimate the output impedance, but wouldn

As I mentioned before, the problem that I found was that there weren't many NA stations calling CQ. I heard quite a few calling EU stations, but that was on THEIR frequency. I didn't want to put out
