Just too bad that Gus cheated on Bouvet LH4C. I felt it particulary sad as
I arranged his licence and picked the callsign.

I started in 1955 and really consider the 50,60, and some 70s as the
golden yrs of ham radio.

Sorry I'm missing all the fun! I recall being active on 160
throughout the summer back in my early days on the band, mid 1980s,
and working a lot of DX during the summer. I had intended to be
active all through the summer this year, especially to see what I
could work fro the southern
Thanks Bob.
Well Said !
We need to keep saying this as there are a few that keep saying shutting
down for the season.
It often leads others to think the 160 meter band is dead for a season.
Mother Earth does have seasons, winter, summer. etc. lets not confuse the
two. ( ; )

I've noticed that at http://www.dxscape.com/us160cw.html . Seems like
activity is picking up, I'll have to drag my carcass out of bed some
morning and join the fun there. :-)

Hello Rag,
I always wondered about Gus Browning's LH4C DXpedition, and the
accuracy of this article, given the extreme difficulty of landing on Bouvet.

I first started DXing in 1960 as K1LPL
I recently had an internet wireless antenna/unit installed as our DSL was
painfully slow.
Now I notice RFI in the AM broadcast band and into the 160 meter band.
There may more
RFI issues on other bands however at this point I haven't noticed anything.
I see that Fair-Rate makes a series of New
Hi Mark,
You will enjoy using your new BSEF receiving array. K1HTV was a big fan of my
BSEF array in the DX contests.
Ask W3UR how he likes it. His T6T topband QSO was made possible by the BSEF
array, impossible to copy on the 900 foot Beverage.
Starting at the top of the photo:
Not too long ago there was a good discussion about this. Try searching for
DSL at http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/ .

Recently I made an improvement at this QTH after having Sprint 3g which was
not even a jokein my opinion, those guys should be arrested for false

I got an Apple IPhone5 and use the 'personal hotspot' feature to provide ATT
4G LTE service to my (this) computer.

The BEST solution to this is a lightning protection type outlet strip that

Hi Carl,
My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1963 when he was in the army as HL9KH .
There is an interesting web site about W9WNV here:

Unfortunately if you have DSL2/2+ the frequencies coincide with the 160
meter band. Even if you have straight DSL you can have problems when
you transmit on 160. Tom is right about the ferrite not being a
solution as I have wound the incoming lines on many large coils and
nothing seemed to
Dave, I also have Wi-Max to run most of the computers but I have found
that even though I have 5 meg service the WI-Max is all over the ball
park on latency as the sector I am on is over played. During a contest
and for remote operation I have found this unacceptable. The DSL I have
is 1.5

Hello Frank,
My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1959.
I was in the Army in Ansbach, Germany. My call was DL4SH and I worked Don
on 15 CW. He was WN9WNV on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I think I have his
QSL, if I look a bit. If I find it, I will post it.
I had a private DL call and it cost me
