Jeff,
Thanks for the note. I got to thinking and
just checked my log. VE1ZZ was my first DX
on 160 and my 2nd 160 QSO; this on July 8,
1992. Though I'd been a ham 13 years, I'd
never been on 160 till that time. I
remember I was living in a 2nd floor
apartment with a random wire tacked to the
hallway ceiling, using buttons for
insulators, had a Drake TR7 & Murch 2000B
Transmatch. Landlord had said no to any
antennas so this is what I had to use &
there Jack was, QRV on Topband in July.
73,
Gary
