Indeed so. An 18m Spiderpole, but the top sections are a little thin to
support the top loading, so it is attached at the 15m level.
For receive we have Beverages (about 650ft) to EU/NA and to JA.
1628 topband QSOs to date, including a number of Europeans, both ways round.
Main topband operators include myself, G3WPH, FM5CD, G7VJR, MD0CCE, GM3POI,
G3SVL, GU4YOX, etc.
All in all, on 160 we are probably not really disadvantaged with the lack of
the container (Titanex vertical) on the antenna front. For equipment the
situation is a little more complex. Instead of the planned FT-5000 and
Quadra linear, we are managing with an FT-450D and Expert 1K linear. This is
fine, except that the FT-450D lacks a separate rx antenna input, so we have
had to put together some external switching which hasn't been 100% reliable
- real Field Day stuff!
