We really don't have the antennas to do 160 well here at Bedsprings Brigade
Manor, but I figured I'd give it a stab. As a matter of fact, I seemed to be
unhearable in the normal antenna configuration. I ended up pulling the old
trick of tying both sides of the ladder-line together and treating it as a
random wire. It at least got me out domestically. I heard no DX, I just heard
other people working them.
The rest of the weekend was pretty full, so I was only able to get on Friday
evening. It's still more QSOs than I've made in previous years's CQ 160
contests.
