Greg:  Don't forget the many QSOs you have made, including with folks for whom you were a new country or much-needed multiplier...160 requires patience and dedication, and you know this well.  Bon voyage and best wishes for great success in your relocation endeavors!  Here's to hoping you

Re: Topband: ON4UN - SK Nov 9, 2020

A terrible loss of a fountain of knowledge.  Happy memories and excitement working John on Top Band from my apartment QTH in Monterey with an inverted L/9 radials and 600W.  He had great ears.  We owe him a debt of gratitude and appreciation, and will miss him greatly. 73, and God's blessings

Re: Topband: Herbert Schoenbohm, KV4FZ: Silent Key

Worked Herb at least 15 times on 160, in contests here in NV (as W7RN) and from my little apartment QTH in Monterey.  Great ears, a great ham, a true 160 beaconwill miss him greatly.  Condolences and prayers for his family John, W6UQZ On Wednesday, April 29, 2020, 11:21:29 AM PDT,

Re: Topband: 160m vertical saltwater grounding

Just bare copper wire with washers or lead fishing weights tied on the ends is just fine if you wish to enhance coupling between the vertical and the salt water, or 4 raised counterpoise wires in the air will also work extremely well.  The main issue is to position the vertical over the

Re: Topband: Mag loop 400W if possible.

Use the largest, heaviest hardline you can find.  Also, rethink your resources.  I ran Top Band from a 2nd story apartment with a full-sized inverted L hidden in a tree, with radials running down the sides of the bldg., and worked 93 countries with 100-600W.  73 and GL, JH W6UQZ From:
