Comments:

A very limited S&P effort due to family commitments.  Murch tuner barked at
1.5KW, tripping the amp in the middle of calls.  A first place 2011 score in
Alabama using a proper vertical with a real ground system convinced me there's
no substitute for a good vertical on 160.  The full size dipole at 60' & a
ladderline fed 132' flat-top worked against a minimal ground performed equally
poorly - fine for NVIS but not much else.  

Considering the potential of the new QTH, pretty happy with the antenna farming
so far.  Thanks for the Q's.
