[NCC] 160 Condx?

[Hal Offutt]

I would appreciate hearing from some of you 160 powerhouses about how you are finding DX condx this weekend.  Here in Saipan it's been a real struggle to work NA and EU.  We have only worked about 10 NA (and nothing east of the MS river) and about 6 EU.  We never heard any NA in W1, W2, W3, W4, W8 or W9 but we were hearing a lot of loud EU but most of them can't hear us.  We're not sure how much is our antenna, how much is just the way things are from KH0, and how much is condx this weekend.  Reports on how much DX you guys are working would be helpful.  

FYI we're using an inverted L with the vertical portion 18 meters and the horizontal portion about 5 meters long.  Loading coil at the bottom with a balun.  About 20 radials, all in the direction of NA and EU.  We'll be fooling around with this today to see if we can do better tonight.   Probably need to add a lot more wire to the horizontal portion.  

Thanks!
