Frank, For any hope at all of working DX you need a vertical transmit.... A top loaded <whatever you can stand up> will work better than any dipole, by magnitudes... I predict that if you try to do t
vertical that I have much better experience with TX/RX low 160m antenna and would like to encourage people to get on the air with whatever available means. Having no other choice for 160 (unable to
Hi Frank, I worked 150 countries on 1.8MHz using a bent dipole at 45' high - made out of a 3.5MHz flat-top dipole, with 66' of wire soldered onto each end and sloped/drooped semi-vertically down to t
Denny, Gee Whiz. I guess my over 260 DXCC on 160 meters with only a dipole with the apex never above 90 feet doesn't work for DX. I guess I'll quit now while I'm ahead! Or, maybe I better get up a ve
