Topband: Wednesday 160m DX Activity Night

[GEORGE WALLNER]

David,
I very much enjoyed our simple QSO last night. Ignore the idiots who are 
reduced to being pests. They happen to turn up everywhere.

By the way, the QSO was very useful: I was testing the new 160 m antenna 
that we will be taking to KH1. As you may know, the USFWS is limiting us to 
verticals with a maximum height of 43 feet. That is not a lot for TB, but I 
think I got a decent solution. (I worked a bunch Europeans a few weeks ago 
with an earlier version using 700 W.) TKS for the good report! It was 
encouraging.
73,
George,

They QRMed the dx station and were sending false signal reports in hopes of confusing me.   Then they came on and sent me disparaging remarks and called me a "bone head".  I went QRT. I know I am not a great operator, and make mistakes, but who needs that when you are trying to relax and have some innocent fun?   I am starting to sour on the Gentlemen's band moniker. It was quite upsetting.
