Congrats Ron! I can relate to your excitement. This year was also when I completed 5BDXCC finishing up 80 this season. For whatever reason when I lived in Illinois I just never got down on 75/80 to work DX. I guess I was under that common mis-conception that there wasn't any DX on that band

Hello group, Just a quick question regarding EWEs. I'm getting ready to punch some holes in the ground today to put up a set of 4 EWE 80m receiving antennas. I've read both articles by Floyd Koontz, WA2WVL, about his 80/160 flavors and wondered if anybody has had any experience with them.

I think part of the frustration is the chosen operation times. They start after the bands have closed for guys West of the Rockies and QRT before the bands have opened. I have yet to hear them anywhere since they've been there. It's roughly a 10,000 mile path here and the window is fairly
