Hi Lee

My English is very weak.
I can't argue with you ..

1- I agree that there are very good RX antennas.
But I repeat - there are no super RX antennas.

2 - if there is a lot of industrial interference near your QTH, a good RX antenna will not help.

3- Very weeks conditions - a good RX antenna similarly won't help ..

Try listening to Europe tomorrow at 13.00 - 15.00 UTC time.
I am sure there will be no result.

Hmmm, Nick,
  I beg to differ with you. I don’t care about scores or countries,
zones  worked but I do care about 160 meter receiving antennas.
In my opinion your statement is dead wrong.
Not looking for a war of words or any more discussion. I will not
respond again about this.

Dr Peter

Super RX antennas for 160 m do not exist!

Exist  :
- good conditions
- Quiet countryside
-  Geography

Does not exist :

- Miracles

I never envy. They envy me!




In CQ WW I only heard three from the USA - K7GM, W1KM, W3UA.

These are honest QSOs.

It´s amazing, the probably envious stations always suspect others with
their better antennas and perhaps better operation to use web sdr.

Compare to recent weeks conditions were marginal during CQWW. Only
two Zone
4 stations were audible here and it took long time to work them.
Whereas a
week ago band was wide open from MI, IL to CO or even down to TX.
I worked only mults and Dx's this time. Only 13 stations from Zone 5
in my log. Except for VY2ZM all NA's were weak including KC1XX and
W3LPL!
Hopeful things improve for next weekend and will work some more in
ARRL 160.

Conditions certainly didn't favor 160 over the weekend CQWW contest
here in
Florida at least.

Looking back in 2019 I worked 50 countries on 160 during CQWW, this
year it was only 17, only 3 Europeans and those were very weak. I'm
sure the lack of expeditions due to CV-19 played a part but on whole
I think many guys in hindsight will be glad they didn't spend the
money to go.

Maybe things will pick up next weekend for the ARRL 160 test though
that tends to be largely a USA to USA test and it is hard to hear
the DX through the local mob

CU guys in the pile up
