Topband: 160 Worked All States

[James Bennett]

Yep, I’m planning on it. I also participated in the recent ARRL 160 contest, but never heard anyone from those five states. I had needed NC and got that on, confirmed shortly after the contest. Usually, if I can hear ‘em, I can work ‘em. But if they aren’t on, I’m hosed!

Tnx, Jim

Got a limited amount of real estate so I can’t lay out much in the line of radials of receiving antennas, but… I have been able to easily work into the Canadian Maritime provinces (plus the remainder of the New England states), so I know I can hit those states. Problem is that I’ve never heard anyone from there on Top Band!
