Hi Jim The omission of the words ‘inverted vee’ in front of ‘dipole’ for Tom W8JI’s antenna up 300 feet high was a slip of the keyboard at my end! I used to work Tom regularly back when he had the antenna up and helped him with comparative signal reports. When he was doing signal comparisons

Greg, In concert with HA7RY (Tomi), one night I was monitoring OH8X while the monster Yagi was still up. At Tomi's QTH (in Hungary) it was very loud. I could barely copy it in FL. I worked EU stations that were much stronger. I think the antenna was too low and there was too much high-angle rad

Hi Carl, OH8X was active for some months when I was making Qs with Eu, in particular OH. I never heard them at all, although I have no idea of exactly when they were QRV. My guess is that if their monster antenna had produced results, they would have been a lot more active. We can certainly d

Polarization - As Jerry K4SAV stated, the electron gyro-frequency plays an important role on 160m since our ionosphere is immersed in a magnetic field - it also affects ionospheric absorption and refraction. For those of us at mid to high latitudes, vertical polarization on 160m is *theoretically*
