Topband: 160 portable vertical

[GEORGE WALLNER]

Pat,
There is one thing that could make a "portable" antenna and QRP work on 160 
meters: Salt water! If you can make the antenna stand over and grounded to 
the water, or right on the water's edge with the "radials" in the water, you 
could get out with a 20' fiberglass pole and a (good) antenna tuner. There 
is plenty of salt water in the Caribbean, but you must be right over it! Its 
is not going to be gang-busters, but...

GL and 73,
George,
