Good morning John,

I should have checked the email more often. Well, I was CW with 5 Watts and 10 Watts on SSB with my Tentec Delta II and QRP will work on 160, the noise is the big problem. In the Winter I use a full sized dipole expecially for receiving, but I do not hang it until early Winter.

Of course we picked the worst weekend of the year for storms - one was heading over from the South and also West and up through New England another front was blasting through. It was brutal yesterday for the VHF test and the Upper and lower sideband ARCI event.

Let's give 160 a change once all of this static is lower.

73,

Kris KM2KM

Kris heard your cw but could not copy . my vertical just could not do it . I hurriedly set up my flex 1500 and called several times and I did hear you call twice but you did not hear me . Does qrp work on this band normally ? That would be cool , If so I didn't know that . Will make myself available again if you guys want to try another time . John Molenda kb2huk

what part of the band is for qrp? 160 seems like a pretty tough band to
work with 5 watts or less .  John kb2huk
