Topband: FW: CQWW a bust this year

[donovanf at erols.com]

Of course Lee is absolutely correct. 


Many 160 DXers who have had difficulty with receiving antennas 
have given up too easily during the troubleshooting process.

Hmmm, Nick, 
I beg to differ with you. I don’t care about scores or countries, zones worked but I do care about 160 meter receiving antennas. 
In my opinion your statement is dead wrong. 
Not looking for a war of words or any more discussion. I will not respond again about this.

Dr Peter 

Super RX antennas for 160 m do not exist! 

Exist : 
- good conditions 
- Quiet countryside 
- Geography 

Does not exist : 

- Miracles

In CQ WW I only heard three from the USA - K7GM, W1KM, W3UA. 

These are honest QSOs.
