GM Mark,
The easiest way to think of this is Diodes = Detectors; with high-powered RF
around, that becomes a Bad Idea. A possible alternative MAY be high-value
resistors to ground across the front end of the preamps. A representative
value would be 10 MΩ or greater, and I would match the

Does this mean a topic like "What Makes 160m Tick" would not be welcome?
Couldn't resist.

GM Herb,
The DXCC Card Checkers do not have to have 160m DXCC
anymorebut they do have to allow their work to be
vetted by HQ. Some field checkers may be unaware of this change; I have
personally run into this problem. I do know that Don Search, W3AZD, checks
160m cards
Concur . if a frequency either ends with a zero, or if you add the digits
up and get a number divisible by 9, it will likely have a greater change for BC
interference.
Example in Tampa (Florida, US) is 1860, which is the 3rd harmonic for WDAE 620,
which is a 50kW stn. An example for our
No, That would not be useful, but a bunch of canned messages that resemble grid
square numbers would be useful, especially when locations are preplanned. Look
at all the Q Codes associated with a SOS, and you'll get some ideas.

I thought I saw one spot on 1823 for them..you were
in that area. I was doing maintenance and listening only, so I didn't note your
frequency but heard your call loud and clear..-)

I suspect it's because someone thought you were QRMing TJ2TT; He was pretty
much QSA0 for me. Local QRN/QRM has made 160 very tough for me; I could barely
hear Roger and he is usually fairly easy copy.

My observations match Herb's very well - of course, we're not that far
apart, as I am in Tampa, FL. 3C0W is easy QSA5 copy on the Windom; TY7C and
TN5R were closer to QSA4, and TJ2TT was very tough copy (QSA1-2) on 160 (but
QSA5 on 80; go figure). I had worked 3C0L, so I didn't work 3C0W on this
Hmmm - local QRM (lights from nearby baseball field) made early evening copy
tough on CW, so I booted up WSJT-X and saw some EU stations there (5B4AIF was
steady copy, and some other EU stations would show up from time to time), from
0100-0200. Not the best conditions, but also not the worst.
Looks like DXWatch just came back

Hmmm - I made about 35 QSOs on 160 on Friday night as S - while many QSOs
were with Caribbean stations, I did get into the EU from
Florida..worked G, GM, EI, EA6, CU, LX, I, OZ, CR, F, E7, 9A, and 5B4.
I was running 1300 watts, though, through a 160m Windom, with no separate
