The transmitting chokes I designed for KZ1W would also work.
Id give it a 6.5. Europe was plentiful on FRI night, but with just
fair sigs. SA-CA-Carib fair. I tried very hard to work a loud LU8 with

I operated SOSB 160 from my station in Arkansas. I found Friday evening

different. Sigs from EU were gud with a nice peak during EU SR. Also had
some nice Asia/Pacific during my SR Sunday morning. Sunday evening about

You can make a feedline choke with snap-on ferrites as follows: wind 4
turns of the feedline through 5 snap-on cores of Fair-Rite part #0431176451.
The core has an inner diameter of about 3/4 inch and 4 turns of RG-6 is the
limit of what will fit in the core. However, using 5 cores will provide

I don't use any chokes on my 160m 9-circle RX arraylocated
about 900ft from the shack.
Chokes on the lines of your antenna couldn't hurt. Snap-on chokes
may not offer worthwhile resistance.

Terrible.
I couldn’t even raise K3LR who had a reasonable signal on the first night, and
who actually requested I call them on 160 m the second night after our QSO on
80 m. I can usually work K3LR easily in contests.
I did work a couple of NA stations and one or two JA who were also surprisingly

Thank you very much for trying Luke. I was the 80m op who requested that
you try to work K3LR on 160m. Unfortunately, we were not able to
complete any 160m QSOs with VK this year.
