The night of 3rd December was a real DX experience for me. After a long time
I was QRV on 160 again
with the new Titanex V160S with DXE RFS-2 Receive Four Square Systém (
spacing unfortunately optimised
for 80m - resulting in low gain on 160 ) However, the conds were fantastic -
I worked 54 US stations in 27 states
and several VE's including BC and SK, being called by FM5BH and P43JB as a
bonus. I was called by many others but the
poor performance of the 80m receiving antennas was a big handycap . my
apologize to the callers.
However the V160S with 64 full size radials performed well on the TX side.
Looking forward for another adventurous night on the topband.
