Topband: 160m LP to LP DX contacts in 2015

[Jim F.]

Getting no reply calling CQ using QRP is fairly common
but tail ending, search and pounce, and careful timinggreatly increase the chances for success.

I thought I would try and see what 5 watts 
could actually in fact really do on TB. Using a 1/4 wave vertical and 12 
Beverages a few weeks later, and many days after that when the band 
conditions where hot, I called CQ for 4 hours each night without a 
single reply.
