I used a dipole at 103ft and an elevated GP (top loaded tower) fed at 70ft with
full size resonance and two elevated straight radials for the last couple of
years.
Foreground is sloping towards North America and Japan.
Most of the time the vertical is the better antenna beyond 3000km and

I don't see where anyone is saying you're lying, Roger.

Several people on this Forum have already stated how my current Signal on
160m compares favourably with other regular British DXers, all of whom use
decent Vertical

I'd define a dipole as "low" if it were less than 1/4 wavelength; I had
one at 120 ft, less than a quarter wave. The virtue

Hi
I have posted a bit of my story on the site.
Maybe some of our American friends will be interested in:
My first USA pile up on TOPBAND (27.01.1997 ). 11 QSOs = 100 % QSLs

I had then :

Conditions were great into Arizona for me,,
Worked 24 EU with 20 being ATNO !!!
Thanks to all who called me!!

I came on for about an hour from 0100Z, and worked stations in Arkansas,
Colorado, Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Saskatchewan and Alberta, so
pretty pleased with that.
Here's to next Wednesday
