In contests I call a lot of guys barefoot first and kick on the amp as needed. Problem is usually a guy running full power can be heard out here but has an S-8 noise level and can't hear 100W..Yes yo

If you want to work the rare ones on Top Band low power is pointless... You are simply banging your head against the wall... It takes maximum power, great receiving antennas and a good transmitting a

I sure agree with John, W4NU...I have been working on 160 DXCC with 80 watts and an inverted-L for 20 years and only managed 65 countries. Just bought a 600 watt amp 3 months ago, worked country #99

I fully agree with John. I have been running 100 watts in to a dipole on 160 and all I am raising is electricity bill from years. Unless you have decent power on TB no use warming the chair. 73 vu2gs

My $0.02. I have added DXCC ## 96-101 so far this season, running 100W into simple wire antennas throughout (most recently, a "Lazy L" with 32 quarter-wave radials). It took awhile to get this far, a

I've been on 160m for a little over 3 years and have 115 confirmed. Antenna is an inverted L with the vertical portion up 60' with 60 120' radials and 30 60' radials. QTH is in the middle of the Blac

What? Mike, 1500 watts is 5 db more signal than you have now. If you can hear better, such that you aren't getting out well enough why would you think 5 db more wouldn't benefit you? 5 db is HUGE. Yo

I don't disagree. I guess my main point is that the lack of Rx/Tx "balance" in my station is so obvious that the improvement in Rx is by far the most important. Once I improve my "ears" with the Rx a

Mike. . .I would suggest you work on your receive capability first. There's nothing more obvious (and embarrassing) then to have people calling you that you can't hear. Beefing up your transmit capab

It doesn't embarrass me at all. Once you have done all you can to improve your rx within reason, then run all the power you can. If the other station can't put a signal into my QTH I can copy then t
