Back in the 90's - KH6ND was active from Kure Is on 160M during July. He was
very workable in North America in the early morning hours before NA sunrise. I
logged Mike with 100 w and my balloon supported vertical. QRN from
thunderstorms may be lower at that time.
Europe may well have some
Hi Guys.
Did you operate CQ160 either mode in 2018?
I am looking for a few good pictures, if you have any.
Especially from those who have not appeared in the magazine before.

As in ARRL literature, even as short antenna in a great ground plane can be
very effective. The Baker Island group has indicated that they were going
to use the salt water..

Glad the are going at this time.
A group of experienced ops and the great preparation will ensure beau coup qsos
are made despite the current sun spot cycle nadir.
I bet the 160 meter cw signal will amaze.
Good luck to the team for a safe and successful trip.

I respectfully suggest the Baker Is. dxpedition be postponed for a few
years until band condx improve. It makes no sense to me to mount this
costly undertaking to a limited access location when propagation is in
the toilet. If USFWS is managing access, they've lately shown that
they'll only

Hi Gang,
In late June my sunrise is 02:44 UTC, sunset is 18:35 UTC. It will be
impossible from Europe not only on 160, but also 80 and even 40. Mayb
20/17 for "the nice QSL"...
But I am happy you are going to have fun.

I have Baker on some bands so this isn't a must have for me, although a 160 QSO
would be nice. If it was, however, at my age (pushing 77) waiting a few years
might not be an option.
I wish SV/A would be deleted, it is after all just Greece, and for some French
ops to activate FR/G. You have
Rob,
You are right about the timing not being good, but it is way too late now to
postpone the operation. Most of us are already in the Pacific or on a plane,
the boat is being loaded, etc., etc.
This is the time we could get and these are the limitations we must live
with. The circumstances
Hi George,
With the oustanding signals you have been producing on top band I hope we
will be able to have a marginal but valid QSO even this time. I wish you and
the gang a fine trip

Granted that summer is not the best time but your efforts in activating this
rare country are greatly appreciated. Good luck and “god speed”.

George,
Thanks for all you do.
I will be calling with a "short" vertical only up 35'.
It is fed 6" from salt water.
I worked the E6 C82 7O6 VK0/H and others using it. It's all I have.
The excitement and anticipation will not be diminished by the challenge I face
using a stealth wire
Often times the only signals on the band. :-)

I have used the Cushcraft MA-160V extensively over the years and it works
amazing well. It only stands at 36 feet tall for the CW DX window. It is top
loaded. It is very light. I don't understand why more DXpeditions don't use
them. I would not trust the all the parts being included,
