Topband: zl8x in COLO this morning-

[kd6nrp at earthlink.net]

Hi Paul:

I also worked ZL8X. This was Sunday morning at 0450 PST/1250Z on 160m CW.

Unfortunately, I did not smoothly handle the QSO, so I don't know if he logged me.

I used a 3.1 MHz horizontal doublet up 12 feet (3m) and squeezed to fit in a 50 x 50 foot (16 x 16m) back yard.

Noise floor here was S-9.

>Finally, with just 100 watts and the MA160 vertical doing all the listening and transmitting, worked ZL8X from Colorado on CW running 100W and the Pro III- also worked them on 80M just before going to 160M after putting the MA8040V back together in the snow and ice this morning..........a little snow of the ground and a lot of luck on 160M helps- that distant record for me on this set up will last a long, long time- they are a true s-4 with the noise at S-2 now 12:27Z,
