[CQ-Contest] ARRL 160m Contest K6KM @W6SRR

[Edward Sawyer]

I wish it was that way Jim.  I CQ'd for 6 hours in the contest Friday evening including over the pre-sunrise EU time. That was with pahsed T Top Verticals and 1/5kW.   I had 30 EU stations respond out of 500 worked.  I have only worked JA twice in 20 years from my VT location.  I can't speak for why the west coast doesn't like 160 contests but I can speak to what is actually happening in W1 vs what you think is happening in W1.

By the way - I have a 1000 ft terminated beverage aiming west and would be happy to give you that VT QRP Q on 160 if you need it.
