My apologies for having to duck out again while being heard in North America. Things started out great at 2200. The band was the quietest it has been since I received the gift of a KD9SV preamp recen

I have one of those despised installations you guys talk about that is "all mouth and (almost) no ears." Should I just give up on 160 meters and go away, or should I stick around and keep trying for

I completed installation of my 160 meters T-Top over the weekend. I called CQ on CW Saturday night, despite a very high noise level. A YL2 came back after several calls; however, I was not able to co

I had hoped last night for a repeat of Friday night's somewhat successful run of North American QSO's, but it was just too noisy. The QRN started out louder than Friday and gradually increased. After

The problem with "tailenders" is that all too many of them jump the gun and step on the tail of the station whose call I am trying to complete! Since I have a one track mind (or maybe half track), I

The 160M band has seemed to be even noisier (QRN) here this year than last year. So far, I have had only very limited success, even with Europe. Most nights I can hear nothing except severe noise. Ex
