Bob, Heard my first Japanese stations on 160 this year. Still need to figure out where they were listening. KH6 is pretty easy from here, we must be in the skip zone. I didn't hear N8S on the Top Band, had limited time to chase them. Nice QRP catch!
I think a lot of folks think they have to have a KW and a monster to be effective on 160. You're a great example, as are others here, of what is possible with less than ideal antennas and 100 watts or less. The band takes some patience and has a learning curve. There are some great surprises for those interested... 73, Julius n2wn --- Robert Tellefsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, and KH6 and JA also. > I even worked N8S on topband during the expedition. > Also found that I took first place in Pacific > Division > ARRL 160 cw.
