Topband: 3D2R on 160--report from VE9 land

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

I am curious too...I just worked them from the car on 10m CW an hour ago.
(I am in FN66, NB, Canada--NE of Maine, USA) running just 50w to a vert !

OK, now for 160m content....VE9HF reports he worked them at sunrise here.
He has a nice hilltop location,legal limit but just using a small/low 
inverted L and 5 onground radials.
(he was very pleased)

Sadly, I don't have a "real" 160m antenna up as I am rebuilding everything.

  Would anyone know the type of 160 antenna being used by 3D2R on Rotuma?



  They have been very weak in MN while T32C continues to be S7-9 with a 70ft
  top loaded vertical well before SR



  We know distance is a factor.  I'm curious about the antenna  ?????



  Thanks!
