100% disagree.. 160m is a gentleman's band by choice, all of us can make
that choice, we respect the visitors that come and go, we
Commercial transmitters and receivers for 160 meters have long been
available.
To Frank¹s point, here are some additional early commercial 160m receiver
examples:
National SW-3 (ca. 1931 regenerative with dedicated 160m band spread coils)
National HRO (ca. 1935 with sliding 160m coil drawer

From my viewpoint things
I still think for the most part that 160 is the most gentlemen's band
of all of the HF bands. I think the one thing that makes a barrier to
the masses are the antenna requirements. I believe there are a lot of
gentlemen and gentle women on 160. I still hear people holding back
when giving
From my perspective it is. However, I can appreciate that it was even
better in years past.

Ken and others, at least last evening, there was very few times when somebody
called on the frequency and unlike the other bands, there was no great pile up
or piling on.I believe at least for now the gentleman's band is still alive and

I think you are right, Eddy. However, I can remember as recently as the
70's and maybe into the 80's

I'll have to agree with Eddy. When I started on 160 meters in the early 1970's
I had to build a receive converter and used a Johnson Viking 2 for the
transmitter.
I recall the only radios that supported

Hello brethren,
I have to complain and name the names. It is a second day in a row that I
become the object of QRM. I come to a freq 3514 in particular, ask QRL? and,
not receiving any objections, begin to call CQ. A few minutes later the
frequency is under massive attack from EP6T callers
On topband, I have not yet heard EP6T myself, but I have enjoyed listening
to strong-signal stations in EU pileups when EP6T is spotted on 160M.

Hello Gary
I got to listen first time for EP6T on 160 early Monday evening Jan 19. It
was just before their sunrise. I could
a signal on any
band or mode more than S4.

That has kept me preplexed since the expedition began
I was at my farm over in SW MS this weekend for 3 days and never heard EP6T.
I talked to some friends in Oklahoma and they had the same reply. All we
hear are the east coast guys calling.
