Joe,
I am afraid you are a victim of your own false assumptions. The W1AW/8
Operations on 160 are not at a single station. The SLAARC ops were only on
during part of the CQWW160 SSB and were "hearing" pretty well. 939 Q's, 52
SP's, & 19 Countries. Of course, I have never met a 160m op that wouldn't want
to hear better.....
73, Bruce W8RA
