You are around 35 years out of date. It was harder to get on 160 in the days of the phony "all-band" rigs that covered 10 to 80 meters but now that every plastic box had a button on it for 160 and you can get a solid state plastic box amplifier that automatically switches bands and tunes up and you can go buy a dipole that is cut for 160, getting on 160 is about like getting on CB. 73 Rob K5UJ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
