Phased Bevs are great. . .if you have the room and not have to take them down seasonally for crop work, etc. I put up the Hi-Z 8 circle/160 array about seven years ago, have not put up a Beverage since. . .and not looked back. YMMV. . .73. . . Dave, W0FLS From: Peter Meyer Sent: Sunday,

Hi Gary I missed them too. Last days that I was QAP, they didnt go to 160 CW before my sunrise. I asked them to go to 160 before 09 utc but the answer was that all i needed to do is "to listen" :-) I heard them 2 days ago 25 minutes after my sunrise, but thet didn´t got me 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W

Me too, regardless of the band. Anytime I tried to reach them they were on FT8, not on CW... 73, Martin, OK1RR Dne 15. 04. 19 v 5:09 FZ Bruce napsal(a): Sorry to hear you missed them. I also missed them as they were after my sunrise, the many days that I listened. 73Bruce-K1FZ

Well, I did get them on digital but missed them on 160. Bad timing on my end & do need VK9-N on 160. Next time! 73, Gary KA1J _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

Guys, I have had better luck here in Atlanta with the Hi-Z 8. Lee, K7TJR, has increased the lightening protection and I have been basically strike free for a couple of years. The 100 ft 45G (with the Waller Flag at 95 feet) pretty much takes the Strikes halfway up the big hill toward the QTH.
