Topband: Laos

[Lee STRAHAN]

Rob, Check out XW4ZW on QRZ.com .
  Ken XW4ZW and I did make a contact on 160 from Oregon but it was very difficult due to the noise in XW. 80 meters was not near as noisy there.
As near as I can tell from experience putting up a receiving antenna would be very important if not mandatory in XW.
I am not a member of the antenna forum and as such did not post there..

A fellow in Laos wants to get on 160 m.  I imagine those of you who chase DX would be interested in encouraging him and giving him advice.
He says he wants to put up an antenna that's good for DX.  I told him to put up an inverted L.  Others might have better ideas.  He posted in the antenna forum on QRZ.com:
