But that would mean it stopped being a gentleman's band when the very first
radios were manufactured, since the first radios including 160. 160
disappeared from most (not all) equipment when we lost the band to LORAN
after WWII, and then slowly reappeared.
Problem people are always a certain

100% disagree.. 160m is a gentleman's band by choice, all of us can make
that choice, we respect the visitors that come and go, we

What has worked for me in cases where he obviously has my call wrong,
or where I am not sure if he has it correct, is to send just my call
and NOT 5NN. I keep doing this until I clearly hear him send my call

No, it's not illegal. :) But it does violate my rule of being weak --
NEVER repeat something that you know the other station has
Here's hoping we all beat our personal record.

..that is, always make sure the op has your call correct _before you
send a signal report._ Always!
(If you're worried that is technically illegal, sign your call at 40
wpm well after the QSO.)

Commercial transmitters and receivers for 160 meters have long been
available.
To Frank¹s point, here are some additional early commercial 160m receiver
examples:
National SW-3 (ca. 1931 regenerative with dedicated 160m band spread coils)
National HRO (ca. 1935 with sliding 160m coil drawer
In the early 160 days I used a Central Electronics 20 A transmitter and (4)
four 6AG7 tubes in grounded grid and a homebrew converter into a National
NC-57 receiver. Have W1BB's QSL from a contact with him.
The good old days.

Don and everyone,
Don't forget the ON4KST chat room. I have many Europe Q's for new ones when
the station in Europe would say when they were going to call CQ and where. I
would go and camp on the freq. Yes, the early bird catches the station b4
the East Coast is aware he is on.

I still think for the most part that 160 is the most gentlemen's band
of all of the HF bands. I think the one thing that makes a barrier to
the masses are the antenna requirements. I believe there are a lot of
gentlemen and gentle women on 160. I still hear people holding back
when giving
From my perspective it is. However, I can appreciate that it was even
better in years past.

I'll have to agree with Eddy. When I started on 160 meters in the early 1970's
I had to build a receive converter and used a Johnson Viking 2 for the
transmitter.
I recall the only radios that supported 160 were Collins and Drake and I could
not afford either.

I think you are right, Eddy. However, I can remember as recently as the
70's and maybe into the 80's
Commercial transmitters and receivers for 160 meters have long been
available . During the 1950s and 1960s the 75A-4 and NC-300/303
were popular receivers and the Viking Ranger and Valiant were popular
transmitters. The Drake R4C and T4XC became the must have
equipment for serious topbanders
