Great fun, as always. Good openings to Europe and Japan.
Shunt-fed tower, 23 meters. Rx loops. Small city lot.
The shunt-feed continues to amaze me, as it has only 13 short, crooked radials
on my 18 by 36 meter property. On 160, your antenna only needs to be a little
less bad than most of the others. Line noise wasn't too bad this time, but I
apologize to the callers I could pull out of it.
QSB is always frustrating on 160. The signal always seems to fade just when
you get to the part you need. Seems to work best to keep repeating the call or
grid at fairly high speed, with no redundant information (which always seems to
be the part that gets through).
