Topband: AM broadcast tower and 160m dxpedition

[Merv Schweigert]

Depends on the noise at your location,   before I removed the 300 ft towers
here I matched one for 160 and ran low power in the Stew Perry a few years
ago,  ended up number 1 world wide if memory is correct,  and receive was
only the xmt antenna at that time.
If the locations noise is low you will hear everything thats on the band.
