Jeff, 

Thanks for the note. I got to thinking and 
just checked my log. VE1ZZ was my first DX 
on 160 and my 2nd 160 QSO; this on July 8, 
1992. Though I'd been a ham 13 years, I'd 
never been on 160 till that time. I 
remember I was living in a 2nd floor 
apartment with a random wire tacked to the 
hallway ceiling, using buttons for 
insulators, had a Drake TR7 & Murch 2000B 
Transmatch. Landlord had said no to any 
antennas so this is what I had to use & 
there Jack was, QRV on Topband in July.

73,

Gary
