Comments:
Rig: IC-756ProIII
Pwr: 100W
Ant: 160/80m inverted L @55ft/22 radials
RX antenna: 160/80m coax loops with preamp
I only played the second night for a bit, and started late at that, too. I did
better than expected, though. The additional radials payed off, but I need
more, especially towards the west. However, the house in the way. Something's
gotta give. :-)
I had replaced the coaxial Inverted L with a Battle Creek Special like antenna.
I only have the 80m trap in the antenna. It plays very well, better than I had
hoped for.
Worked only one EU station, but I understand that the best EU opening was on on
Friday evening. I can't really say anything about the conditions because I just
don't have enough experience on 160 meters.
Thanks to everyone for the Q and for sticking with me to make the contact.
73,
