    Beautiful signals on 160 guys. Thanks to all of the fine antenna systems, my <2% efficent mobile was able to work many. Read More

    Operating on 160 from a small city lot is a challenge. But after listening to the contest on Friday night, I had to get into the action. My plan of sending the XYL Christmas shopping Saturday morning worked nicely. I hastily threw up an inverted L, whi... Read More

    This was my first try at a 160 meter contest. I wasn't expecting much from my postage stamp sized city lot, but found that the 80 meter inverted L would load on 160. So despite the antenna being far from ideal and being surrounded by hills on all sides... Read More
