Hello everybody.
Tried yesterday night on 160 with short inverted L (description on my website)
and 400 watts.
QSO ZL4AS 559, JA7QVU 579 AND k9yc 559 who received me 339. That's all.
Heard FK8CP 599 working USA, VK3PA 599.
K4CKD heard me very weak.
Very good spot by JA7QVI who showed me that it was open to JA with good sigs,
but only sigs from him !!!
Band plan here is beginning at 1830 Khz, so I have to use QSX.
Don't know very well top band but may be it is not the season yet.
80 meters was good after but not many stations.
Best 73 and hope to give you FO on 160.
FO8RZ Phil
