I was on, but traded a good antenna and 5w for a lousy antenna and 100w. So
couldn't work any dx. Had to go to bed early too because of a road trip today.
Thanks to all who got on, it was fun since it was my first 160 test with the k3.
My k2 is lonely now.

We had horrendous electrical storms here in Missouri until 5am.
Not being particularly brave, the idea of working a rig tied
to a 100 foot lightening rod in a storm is not appealing. Not
mentioning the static crashes.
At least December is quiet ... wait 'til next year

Folks,
I think it's a normal occurance - sometimes we hear, sometimes we don't. The
whole magic of radio is in it otherwise we would've stuck to landlines and
cellphones. Summer condition was at its best with the Down South people hearing
and sometimes working those Up North, the "local" North
I was there, gents. Worked both of you

Alex I called you a few times too, but no luck. Only worked 26 stations
during the contest as lightning activity was pretty high in the US which
caused lots of QRN so I just kept waking up t

I had the same frustration calling you at one point and not being heard. I
guess the noise levels and propagation are not constant! Thanks for trying!

Hi all,
I expected more from the event. Conditions were not bad altogether but very
little activity. Some frustration from calling but not being heard. The best DX
of the night - w1aw/kl7 ran by Kevin, kl7ky. Heard but not worked: K1LT, N5IR,
WD8DSB, LU5YF.

First off - I am sorry I totally forgot about the Summer Stew last night
and did not make some noise about it here on the reflector. I also had
forgotten to update the log robot - so please send in your log again. I
think I have it programmed correctly now.
Bummed that I missed it.

HI Dick,
I wondered the same thing.
I could hear a number of stations who were very loud but apparently had
difficulty hearing me (I worked KV4FZ after a few calls...thanks Herb).
Thanks to those who worked me.
After 2 hours and only 25 stations in the log and numerous unanswered CQs I
went to be
160 was almost as quiet as a graveyard last night.
I heard and repeatedly called N7GP, NO3M and KV4FZ but received no answers.
After an hour I went to bed.

Another one for the mix is the FT1000D, especially with the sub receiver. Do
the modification to gang the VFOs together plus the NB and key clicks mods and
you have yourself a radio that is Diversity capable and difficult to beat. Plus
easier to listen too than a K3.

I’ve enjoyed the recent discussions about the best cost-effective transceiver
for use on 160m. Thought there were a couple of other ideas to throw into the
pot on this topic.
For those on a serious budget, the Icom IC-751A and the Kenwood TS-830S are
still excellent performers on 160m f
