Topband: How do we get more people on Topband?

[Mark Beckwith]

Well this is the most interesting thread I have seen on here for a long 
time. Good deal.

I think I might have been discouraged trying to get on 160 from a small 
noisy lot.  Kudos to you all who do that.  I got hooked on 160 by operating 
some stations which had space for some big antennas and relatively low 
noise.

That said, to get more people on Topband, I would make my station available 
to people who lived around here (Northeast Oklahoma) to play with 1.5 KW and 
a big vertical.  I don't have much in the way of RX antennas, but I have 
some and they do work.  My out-in-the-country QTH is pretty quiet.  I can 
copy a lot of DX on the transmit antenna.  It's a real good time.

Preaching to the choir, I know :)
