Having only my gamma-fed tower for TX and RX, I worked half a dozen S5, SV and G "regulars" before their sunrise on 26 March, with some of the strongest signals I've ever heard. True 599+ signals overcame static crashes from thunderstorms to the southeast.
It's a good time of year to be on 160, particularly, I'm sure, if you have a directional RX antenna to cut the QRN. 73 -- Brian -- K1LI _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
