For those who may be new to 160 (and you old dogs as well), or have not read his material, Carl K9LA offers some very good insight to 160 meter propagation, including the spotlight topic. k9la.us is the site, click on the 160 meter tab. I like to read his 160 meter prop papers just before each "season" as a refresher. 73 Joel W5ZN www.w5zn.org
