Please pay special attention to Far Asia at 80/160 in CW or at least in FT8.

Dave,
I would use a different approach, try 2 sloping wires opposite each other of
the same length. They will cancel out the horizontal component of the
loading and give you an overall better signal. For about 20 years I used a
51ft vertical with two stainless steel loading wires (just capacity to
The "witches hat" as you call it makes an excellent top loading medium for
Marconi antennas. I use them here on an AM tower with great success in
improving the base impedance of a less than 1/4 tower. Care must be taken
that these angled down wires are not to long. (I think 30% of the antena
For many years my 160m antenna has been a very successful classic 21m
tall Inv L mast with a horizontal loading wire.
The only problem, a big one, has been the loading wire getting tangled
up in the surrounding trees in very windy weather.
Chopping the trees down is not an option and I've had
No issues hearing 7P8 at my local SS yesterday but the QSB fades were very deep
and long. Possibly the fades weren't as bad later in the evening?

The half dozen of us in central Illinois did not fare so well. Rain throughout
the area made it difficult to hear, but we were glad they were on during our
opening. At one point the wind was louder than the amplifier fan! There was
a bit of a peak, with fading towards their sunrise. I
They were working EU on 160m during most of our evening here in NA. I
think K7ZV was the first NA to get through about an hour before their SR.
Then less than maybe a dozen or so did make it right up to and past their
SR. They are clearly hearing much better as they were never very strong
It was great to hear all of the activity on 160 meter CW last weekend in
the Spring Stew Perry test. We have already received 340 logs. There is
still plenty of time to submit your log if you haven't already.
Perhaps you noticed our new web page which includes a spiffy new log upload
feature
The 7P8 operation was very active up to (and a bit beyond) their sunrise
today. They primarily worked Europe - but eventually called for only NA.
Not a lot of guys made it into the log, but a few did. They peaked up
around 0400Z here, but then slowly faded up to their sunrise. Sometimes we
