The antenna was a caged T-top with elevated counterpoise
I had the opportunity to travel around China a lot last summer and saw many
caged T-top or cage dipole antennas. Maybe they were cage dipoles, hard to tell
from the distance I was at (typically I sighted them from tour buses

Hi guys!
Most or maybe all of us have been talking about 160 as the low band and that
is correct in a sence IF they are just about to open up 500 kHz on a more
global basis. I do not dream of working ZL on 500 but just want to figure
out how big interest there is at this reflector to run some
Are T-tops ever used in NA for commercial BCB stations?

The high power shortwave station that I used to work at had 4 x 4
broad-banded dipole arrays in front of large reflectors. (~21dbi gain
depending upon frequency)

The CBC still have a number of 40W AM stations serving small isolated
communities.
Those stations use inverted L antennas - which are admittedly not exactly a T!

I enjoyed my first 160M contest. I was a slow grind but I had some
interesting results.
For those trying to work Hawaii. It looks like our propagation out was
pretty difficult. It was for me and a few of the big operators. It looks
like only KH7X and myself stuck around for both
