I also didn't hear any EU/AF on 160 out of my 31 QSOs in 16 enities. My
best DX was VK9DNX who was easy to copy on my newly finished aprox 750 ft
beverage running SW to NE. Both nights the EA8s and CT9, CN2s wre strong on
80 at their SR and I kept checking 160 for them but it didn't happen, the
KH6s and JAs were OK on 160 also. Now I realize I need to finished the xmit
4 SQ for 80 and who knows what I'll have for next winter on 160 xmit.
I found a 1/4 mile of #14 AL electric fence ware at a local rancher
store
along with some screw in insulators with 25 to a bag for about $3. I screwed
them in up about 10 to 15 feet to keep the wire out of 4 legged critter
range.

Comments:
After nearly 25 years on the air, I finally managed to get something up for
160
this past Summer. It's very tough to be competitive on 160 from Colorado,
so
this was more of an effort to do some DX band fills than anything. Not a
single peep from any EU station so watching and hearing the E. Coast guys
work
EU was frustrating - but that was expected. It was fun to really try out
the
shunt fed tower when the band was full of DX and put it through it's paces.
Now if the snow would melt and give me a chance to get some RX antennas
up...
