Interesting conditions here last night. I heard a whole lot of DX that simply could not hear me. I'm running QRP and don't expect to work everything I hear but one thing for sure, the overall conditi

Something that has always puzzled me is summer operation on 160 in the northern hemisphere. Here in Connecticut 160 in the summer is so full of crashes that picking out any DX is next to impossible.

Gary, Though our conditions are different, I also have a top height of somewhere around 50-60'. I don't know exactly, I run a sloper over the top of the tallest tree I can find from my radial plate.
