Don't tell K5RC (W7RN) that. His new 160 transmit antenna (about a
year) is a quarter wave, and he is BIG on 160. When we were lined up
trying to run JA this morning, one JA who was doing a lot of
spotting said he was the loudest. Yes, the beam adds some top
loading, but it should be possible to match that.
