- Hello TopBanders, As you may know, K8R is a test run for N5J, Jarvis. The season is not ideal for 160. However, we have been testing FT8 SuperFox on the higher bands and the performance with the late

- It make it easier if you think of the loading coil as a transformer: the current is lower on the "top" but the voltage is higher. Power is the same (minus losses). 73, George, AA7JV On 7/28/2024 2:03

- Generally, we go to 160 around 0500 until we run out of callers. We are trying for EU at that time, but NA is much appreciated too. Then we QSY to 80 and come back to 160 around 0830 Z. Stay on 160 a
