Topband: I'm bk on 160m & heard VK3ZL this morning ! de VE9AA

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Well, hello all. Mike in NB here.  Previously was in FN65 in a cedar swamp. 
Low inverted L and a dozen radials
inn/on the mooshy ground and now I am in FN66 on a hilltop with very rocky 
ground underneath.  Good for 6m, but not so much for 160m.

I am back on 160m after being away for years.....I just have an Alpha-Delta 
DX-A twin sloper off the side of my tower @ the 30' mark and have worked a 
few EU's with 1.2kW and this LOW antenna.

This morning near my sunrise I heard VK3ZL working N7DD. . . .about RST 
39  - - very exciting !

I have tried shunt feeding my tower (need to attach the gamma a little 
higher) and other antennas over the past month, but the A-D twin seems best 
so far.

Great to be back on "TOP". . . . .now to work on a real antenna !
