So with this little bad boy - a 160 meter single bander of KD1JV design, 4.8
watts out, 500 hz filter, .05 microvolt MDS - and my top loaded vertical I
ended up with 87 Qs (beat my previous high total by 7 Qs), including a KH6 and
two KL7s ('guess one could toss in the XE2 I worked as well) for "DX" during
the Pre-Stew this past weekend.
Never heard one JA....did hear an RT0 and that KV4FZ (VI) station but couldn't
get either to come back to me. Did work a couple of VE3s and east coast
stations during daylight hours early yesterday evening which IS a first for me
on Top Band at that time of the evening WITH sunlight!.
My antenna system - 43' vertical with three 25' top loading wirers at 45
degrees, in a Nord configuration, and seventy elevated radials is WORKING mo
betta than I expected!!
