Topband: QRP on 160?

[Mike / K5JR]

I operated in the Big Stew Perry (Dec) one year, QRP 5w, from the K4PI 160 station location (The Farm). Full sized 4 square transmit antenna, several beverages and an 8 circle receiving array. The conditions stunk for hearing much DX that year, but no one had any trouble hearing me, and I did have success running a few times. It was good enough to do again should the opportunity come up. 

After working VP6DX (Ducie) on 160 in Feb 2008 from my very modest home station, a couple of days later, I easily worked them on 160 QRP (using a club call). But Milt & Robin were in charge of 160/80 receiving antennas. 😜

tnx
