Topband: Conditions on 160m for ARRL Contest

[Lee. KX4TT]

Hmmm - I made about 35 QSOs on 160 on Friday night as S&P - while many QSOs were with Caribbean stations, I did get into the EU from Florida..........worked G, GM, EI, EA6, CU, LX, I, OZ, CR, F, E7, 9A, and 5B4. I was running 1300 watts, though, through a 160m Windom, with no separate receive antenna. The larger issue for me was QRM, but I had trouble hearing stations that are usually QSA4 or QSA5, so I know conditions were not good...................hope for better conditions next year..................
