I do not do the ARRL 160 contest but
I did it this year. I ran an inverted v at 150 ft apex and a 1/4 wave vertical.
Both put out well however the v seemed to hear better.Between the 2 I managed
to break the NLI record held by W2CWW. So I think for cq160 I will do the same
and add a coax rx loop. Any other ideas?
My experience is that low dipoles or inverted vees normally receive
better than my transmit vertical. The vertical is way
better on transmit. YMMV. I am going to try a low dipole
on receive for SP.
Congrats on your high score but I still missed NLI this
year :-)
