Hi I'm new to 160. Worked 1st station in 13 years a couple nights ago.
 He was somewhere in DE or CT.  Not on my log right now.  I have been
trying to get on 160 for awhile and wanted to drop in and say hi.
Could not get on 160 due to small yard.  Put up a vertical and not
sure if anyone could comment. Vertical is 43 feet tall and tuned by a
4:1 Balun, balanced against 59..50-60 foot radials.  So far I am
learning to like 160, as the background is mind numbing static.  Any
thoughts on how I could improve this other than extending the vertical
radiator another 50'.  www.kb2qqm.com
