HI all this may not be a good question for this reflecor butit is about
Topband so here goes.
I was wondering if I can pull out any input on  what  the best antennas
for ss qrp vs full poewr dxing. The only qualifier is I cant get much
above 50/60 feet.
Current situation is a inv L with 22 elevated radials and a 160m (almost)
dipole fed with 300ohm line.  at about 40 feet the dipole is a Vee beam
for 40m that will tune on 160m at low power.  The apex of the L is at 45
or so feet also. The L will in the end have 60 radials but I ran out of
radial wire and well manure acurate.  My dear fellow topbander please
fire away!
tnx de John kd1ia@ids.net
I know this may seem a day late and a dollar short but most of the arrl
160m test is the same as ss with mostly state side contacts so it applies
tnx de John
