Well - We tried this 160 sillieness again. A little bit smarter this
time. Quit at 1am local. Restart at 0530 local - quit at 0730.
Saturday eve. start at 1700 local quit at 2100 local. Again a quick
look at sunrise.
Biggest thrill was the JA run on Sat AM. About 15 stns answered CQ.
Antennas: Xmit: Shunt loaded 72' crankup.
Rcv: 10'dia 7/8" hardline loop
Radio: IC765, Ten-tec Titan
Ops: AA6LB, NV6O
Watch for Carl, AA6LB with his new KH8 call from KH8 on 2-18 or 19.
He's going with 160-40 in mind. Will get there halfway thru test due
to flight scheduling. IC735 and 76PA with HF2V R7 and RG-58 rcv loop.
271 Q's 43 States & Prov., 8 cty = abt. 40K
I'm new to the band, so this is fun. By the way, any signal comparisons
from midwest and east would be appreciated.
