Finally added a 135' wire to my Hustler 6BTV so as to see if I could get onto
160m. Band seems more quiet than 80m--but that could be a number of factors, I
guess. One thing I've noticed though is that the RX preselector (aka resonate
control) uses the same setting as it does on 80m. Is this normal?
I also noticed that I have to use "lots" of RF gain, more than on 80m--but that
could be antenna related--but I noticed one eham review that said the Omni C
had low sensitivity on 160m. Is that normal? I don't think I mind, with my
setup I don't need extra gain.
