Hi guys - I am new to this group. 

The first band I ever listened in on was 160m. My first elmer ran 10 
watts of AM on 160 and chatted in a roundtable every Saturday.

Later I got my ticket after years of listening to 160, 80 and 20m.

I haven't done any serious top band 
DXing since the days when I had a good old shunt-fed tower vertical.
Now I just have a G5RV diipole but I still like to get into the 
contests and give out a few points or even compete just a little with 
my humble 100 watts!

Can anyone suggest a list like this one, where I can find a design 
for a 160m band CW transmitter? Or a web site with same?

There seem to be lots of designs for rigs in the 80-10 meter bands.
I have seen very few for 160.

I still FONDLY remember hearing W1BB years ago from England, and
then working him from my TN station on top band.

Greetings to all - Bry
