I have worked about 20 countries on 160, including Europe and KH6, using a 80m
G5RV up about 35 feet (10 meters) and 100 watts. Admittedly, most of this was
done in the winter of 1997/98 near the bottom of that sunspot cycle. It takes
GOOD EARS on the other end. Due to multipath, I'm not sure RTTY would be as
effective.
