Finally put up an inverted L that I have wanted to do for a couple of years now. Got it up the weekend of CQWWCW, which gave me a chance to get it tuned in for the 160 contest. Signals, in general, were better than on the DX-LB short dipole at 35 feet.... Read More

In 31 years of hamming this was my first try at 160M contesting. Using a low 80M dipole fed with windowline and 100W I had a blast! DX for me was VE3PN in ON. City noise level was S-9 till the last hour I operated then dropped to S-3, guess my neighbor... Read More

Band was quite crowded. Used my FT-757, antenna I hastily fed my 100ft twin lead fed dipole as a top loaded 15 foot high vertical. Cut the power down to 40 watts to avoid rf feedback. Not the best, not the average, but did manage 13 qso's in 8 state... Read More
