Good Morning:
My 160m work began on 2009 December 9, so I missed the last year's ARRL 160m
contest.
This weekend will be my first such contest. I look forward to working as any of
you as possible this weekend on top band with my cloud warmer antenna.
By the way, I noticed that there is sometimes long-range medium wave broadcast
station reception during the day this time of year.
Therefore, I will may try calling CQ between sunrise and sunset at the start of
the hour on 1818.0 (primary) and 1808.0 (alternate) KHz.
Thus far I have worked approximately 125 different stations on 160m from a 50 x
50 foot (16.4 x 16.4m) suburban back yard in an antenna restricted
neighborhood. The TX power was 100W or less.
