Comments:
I have been a ham since 1970 and never HEARD, let alone WORKED any European
staions on 160. The night before CQWW 160 I worked OZ, CT3 and several G's
around their sunrise, and did it rather easily some peaking well over S9. I was
lucky that the condx continued into CQWW 160 and worked Europe again in between
all the very strong NA stations. I agree with the many others who commented
that these were probably once in a lifetime condx, it only took me 39 years to
work Europe on 160, with a low dipole and 100 watts!

Station:
IC735 to a 160m dipole at 30ft, with the ends at 10ft squeezed into a
horizontal "U" shape in my urban lot.
In the wintertime I add a couple 70 ft lengths of wire to the ends of my 80m
inv vee.
