Topband: Baker Island DXpedition on 160

[Bryon Paul Veal NØAH]

I  have used the Cushcraft MA-160V extensively over the years and it works amazing well.  It only stands at 36 feet tall for the CW DX window. It is top loaded.  It is very light.  I don't understand why more DXpeditions don't use them.   I would not trust the all the parts being included, but once it is complete, it plays very well.  Always good to use in unison with a RX antenna; beverage, flag, K9AY, etc.....-
