Everyone needs to find out what N7TR is using for an antenna
for his 160 meter skimmer.
I loaded up (?) my PROII on 160 using the internal ant tuner
to a 32' GAP ground mounted vertical. Called everyone to try 
and give the locals some points. No luck....
So I called CQ while checking the telnet reverse beacon skimmer.
1st CQ, N7TR reports my CQ 300 miles away in Reno. Only 3db
but the skimmer copied my single CQ and single call signing...
Pretty incredible, but a great receiving antenna to copy my
peanut signal from a 32' pipe with infinite SWR...

Listening on 160. I hear many stations S9 +20 calling CQ with
pile-ups and just calling CQ in their face...
