Dear friends,
I need your advise: I found a very high tower with 100m high. I need to fix a
very effective antenna on 160m band. What kind of antenna will be better for
contesting?
73!

I used to live near Granada Hills - not near an ocean.
I guess he could have a remote station somewhere - but again, 1:30 PM in
SoCal is a no go. I can't imagine where someone would have a big rhombic
near an ocean in SoCal with much of an advantage towards Europe.
Reminds me of a story - back when W6RW was active on the band. This is
probably around 1975 or so. The Southern California DX Club used to have
quite a bit of activity on 2 meter FM - perhaps a repeater, I forget.
Someone started bootlegging European calls around noon local time and W6RW
was buying it. He had a lot of fun talking about this rare opening at
noon. I think eventually, he was convinced someone was pulling his chain
and he stopped.

Good cndx no surprise - the K index dropped to 0 for a few hours and
then stayed at k=1.
TN8K was audible here for several hours in and out, with long and deep
fades but peaking briefly ~ 569, and definitely favoring stations in the
Mid-western, Western and Southern US. I'm using an Inv L with 3
elevated radials so signal strengths were certainly better at the
serious 160 stations. I also heard a lot of EU stations work TN8K most
of which were < 559.
Maybe 160 ops should complain about cndx more often? LOL!
