Guy (K2AV) said "Methinks hamdom underestimates 160 propagation in the
summertime.", and I totally agree with him.
For the past 11 months I have been running a daily early morning experiment
on 160 meters CW trying to copy a specific station in South America running
500 watts (4700 mile path, 160
Hi Don et al,
Just an example:
Late last night I made a brief CQ DX and got a prompt answer from Jeff, in
TZ4 (Mali) Nobody else to be heard on 160.
Let us see if the upcoming Stew Perry will bring some more 160 activity.

Just a little more info regarding the 160 meter experiment that I mentioned
which is now 11 months old, and quickly approaching 1 year. The station in
South America that I'm experimenting with is my good friend LU5OM, and his
TX antenna is currently a 64 foot tall top loaded vertical mounted very
Maybe CW till band worked dry. Hope so.
73, definitely working all the DC I can hear.

I have no doubt they will be successful on the lowbands with what should
hopefully be an ambient free RF zone- Despite the short windows, and my guess
30M will be their best band, if you want to call that a lowband. I do- The
greyline characteristics in crap conditions are well proven. I only
According to the latest Clublog DX Report, 20-meters is still the money band;
34% of all reported contacts made during the last 7 days were on 20. Of those,
41% were DX contacts. Second was 40-meters. Thirty meters was actually fourth,
behind 6-meters.

Jim,
We will be on FT8 extensively on many bands, but only when we can operate
concurrently with CW (and SSB). We will only have one 160 m antenna. Also,
the CW and FT8 frequencies are very close to each other on this band and it
may be hard to allow concurrent (interference free) operation. We
There is a fine line between "know" and "believe". Like detuning your tower,
directivity increase signal to noise ratio. You need RX antenna on 160m in
a quiet place. Antenna over salt water is one of those things people know
but don't believe. I am 100% sure and I believe that the signal from K
And hopefully a little SSB if the give us alert by the cluster or their pilot
ops. I for one think the west coast stands a decent change of that working
optimist that I am (Hi Hi).
