Thanks for the reminder JC.    Remember. 160 meters was not included in most ham gear not so long ago. It's a gift we should treasure.   73 Bruce-k1fz   BOG antenna notes have been updated at a new address.   www.qsl.net/k1fz/bogantennanotes.html     On Fri, 23 Oct 2015 08:57:38 -0400,

I'm still of the opinion --right or wrong-- that there will *always* be hams using analog technology that will be able to out-hear anyone using an SDR (even DDS) to copy very weak CW signals at the low end of 160. *But I have an open mind.* I think it was Barry N1EU that disagreed with me on that

Does that mean "don't bother me with facts, I've made up my mind?" Tom presented his experience. He's a damn good engineer, so we should pay attention to it. Much earlier in this thread, I observed that most serious contesting stations using more than one transmitter will have bandpass
