HI Larry
Nice to hear from you. Congratulations!. Yes Gary is doing a great job with the
preamps, huge improvements . I am preparing some equipment's to PT0S DX
expedition and George always comment about the work with Gary. George now has
one preamp with 9 FET's in parallel.
You will get over 200 by the end of the next season. I'm sure about. With a
good preamp and the WF tuned like you have, you can hear a third layer of DX
not possible before
Regards

I read you’re comments the Top Band reflector. While I have never operated
any digital modes I have enjoyed some great success on 160 with much thanks to
the rotatable WF. Much of the credit goes to you, NX4D and KD9SV. Without
yours, Doug’s and Gary’s help I would have given up on 160, not to leave out
W8UVZ, K8GG and W0CD. Gary has sent me several prototype preamps, each one
better than the last. Without Gary’s help I would not have pulled NH8S out of
the noise last week and worked them on 160. Or for that matter RI1ANF a few
weeks ago. Currently I have 154 worked with 139 confirmed on 160 from a lot of
80’ X 100’.
