Hi Jeff, I have never heard a beacon on 160 without a callsign, but I believe you. All the fishnet beacons do, the last I knew. And unless I missed it, no one in this thread mentioned that either. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Feb 19, 2018 4:30 PM, "k1zm--- via Topband"

Re: Topband: Conditions on 160m for ARRL Contest

Terry, You don't need a capacitor rated that high, as long as you don't make it much longer than 1/4 wave on 160. Ohm's Law is your friend, just use one of the formulas to calculate E from R and P. :-) 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Feb 19, 2018 1:02 PM, "terry burge" wrote: ...

Conditions down here also in SE USA. I had over 150 Q in 62 countries doing an all out effort both nights. I did work G3YRO who was commenting on condition and someone mentioned the GM5A station on the water. They had decent signals both nights. Yes being near the coast makes more of a

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 receive

I worked CT, CT3, F, JA, Kh6, KL7, UA9 for non carib or SA contacts.  I missed much of the early Saturday night opening as I was gone. I was very happy to log the JA and UA9!  Otherwise is was pretty poor.  80 and 40 were pretty lousy too. W0MU On 2/19/2018 2:21 AM, Roger Kennedy wrote:
