First time on 160 running qrp with severe antenna limitations. Any qrpers
out there with suggestions for maximum efficiency in a small city lot? I'm
thinking of a 60ft vertical, but radials will be very limited due to
landlords etc.

Learned lots. Would appreciate exchanging notes with other qrpers.

Golden ear awards to all who heard me.

cheers, Paul
