Hi,
I recently put up an Inverted L antenna for 160 meters to try to work =
100 entities for DXCC. With this antenna, I can copy OK the US and =
CARIBBEAN stations but I haven't yet heard anything from EUROPE or =
AFRICA. Tried hard to copy 3XY7C signal several days, and other =
stations from EUROPE and AFRICA that the US stations were working but I =
didn't heard a whisper from them on my Inverted L antenna. Do I have =
some problems with my Inverted L antenna? Do I have to orient the =
horizontal section of my inverted L into another direction to copy =
EUROPE or AFRICA signals? Or the propagation is just not here for me to =
EUROPE or AFRICA?
What time of the year or month is propagation good from Central America =
to EUROPE? Last time, I operated sporadically on 160m was on 1992, 1993, =
1996, 1997 with mostly US stations worked so don't have much experienced =
on 160m propagation.
Any advice will be aprreciated,
Thanks,
JOSE / HP2CWB
