For those who like to operate 160M as well theorize during the summer, I just
received a very colorful piece of wall paper. The Tasmanian "Devil" Award for
working 5 (for North Americans) VK7's is one of several dx awards you can chase
on 160 during the summer.
BTW I notice that the improved performance with horizontal antennas at and
after sunrise to VK is more noticeable here on days when signals are quite good
on both vertical and horizontal antennas at sunrise..When signals are poor or
the path is longer (VK6, FT5, UN5, etc) the vertical seems to work best.
