I worked VK6LW with 100 watts at 11:33 Z this morning. He was peaking nicely
here at SC sunrise. WOW, that was fun !
I'm in the process of putting up antennas for 160 at my South Carolina QTH.
Inverted L with apex at 50 feet with 14 longish (75-100 feet) radials so far.
No RX antennas yet. No amplifier at this QTH yet either.
I heard other VK's over the past couple of mornings as well as JH1HDT this
morning, I was surprised how strong HL5IVL was yesterday morning. I called
several times but he did not hear me. VK2WF got a partial call sign for me but
we didn't make the QSO. He was very strong at my sunrise each morning I heard
him.
Getting ready for the upcoming 160 contest season.
Fun stuff !!
