There is no other solution for the future than obligatory recordings of the
whole contest, at least for the first 3 scores.
Both for multi and single op, but I would say - especially for multi.
Like it was in WPX for unassisted.
It's the only way to get rid of this madness.
Here I was QRV only the 1st night, worked 27 states and heard nothing from
W0,6,7 and only 1 W9 (Wisconsin).
I have 2 phased Beverage arrays for NA, 2 x320m broadside and 2x300m
end -fire.

Hey topbanders,
yesterday evening we had again a nice opening to VK.
Adrian VK2WF had the best signal and I had the time
to work him and watch his signal.
I compared my NE 180m long beverage with a 68m BOG also to NE.
If you want you can watch my short video. I switched between this two
receiving antennas.

During our southern hemisphere winter, there is a brief opportunity to
work South America, which being directly over the south pole from VK6,
is our ultimate challenge on 160m. I spent a couple of years trying to
give Manuel, LU5OM, zone 29 on 160m, as did Steve, VK6VZ. I heard Manuel
many times, but we never completed a QSO, due to his high urban noise
level, despite him trying many different RX antennas. During those
attempts I did have QSO's with Juan LU6YF and Mario LU8DPM, even though
signals were extremely weak. Mario is in a very quiet rural location
with excellent TX and directional RX antennas. Maybe people having
trouble working him recently, failed, due to him listening in another
direction, or more likely, he was experiencing very high QRN during the
southern summer. Even with his RX antennas pointing north towards the
USA, the Amazon is a terrific QRN generator and probably masks many
signals. I keep a good eye on lightning tracker programs, for two
reasons, firstly to know when to isolate my antennas with approaching
thunderstorms and secondly to see what the thunderstorm activity is like
in my target areas on 160m. I know QRN can be intense during the
northern summer in the USA, and why many go QRT for the duration, it is
too during our summer, but lightning trackers give me a good indication
of my chances of being heard in areas experiencing severe QRN. So take a
look at a lightning tracker program, one that is effective in the area
of interest, it may explain why someone can't hear you, _not_ because
they are "deaf"! They may also live in an urban area, with a multitude
of man made QRM to combat. Regarding lightning trackers, all are not
equal, for instance Blitzortung/Lightning Maps is excellent in EU and N.
America, also in eastern VK and ZL, and it's near real time, but it's
absolutely useless in VK6, as it detects very few strikes here. I use
Farmonline https://farmonlineweather.com.au/satellite/ which uses the
Weatherzone Pro service, for local lightning tracking, it's not real
time, images are at least 10 minutes old, but it's the best available here.
73, Phil VK6GX.

Thanks to all who responded.? Consensus is the antenna is working as well as
can be expected for a wire vertical with 55 radials over average ground.? Not a
4? square or a vertical next to a beach but good enough to work 57 countries in
the test.? Now if I only had room for a 800 ft Beverage.? Hi!
