Topband: First 160m Contest

[kd6nrp at earthlink.net]

Good Morning:

Last weekend's 160-meter content was the first 160-meter event I have ever participated in.

My 160m capability is modest and my station may not even qualify as a "little pistol" (more appropriately, a "water pistol").

I still had a good time, logged numerous new stations, and added three states to my 160-meter log.

Time to start thinking about a better antenna. A few people have reported success on 160m with an "inverted U". I wonder how well such an antenna would work on other 160m and other bands.
