Comments:
My first SSB 160 from my Maine QTH. I quickly learned that my TS-590S
cannot load my simple trapped dipole above ~1880 KHz. Guess I need to
come up with some impedance matching thingy -- a very technical term. I
hadn't done much 160 SSB before and it's fine for CW and FT8.
Friday night started well, if mostly local. With my little pistol station
it's all S&P, but I did hit a 45 rate for a brief moment.
I woke up at 5:30 Saturday morning and did well for a hour. Heard Dennis,
HQ9X, but no copy. He had a good, clear signal. Saturday evening & night
was mostly dupes. Got a few more. Busy Sunday so that was it.
Two-timing it with the NAQP RTTY didn't help. And as usual, I could hear
a lot more than heard me.
Rig: TS-590S
Antenna: 160/80 HB trapped dipole at about 9M.
(Part of my 160/80/30/20/10 fan dipole)
