Thanks for trying Milt. I didn't see you anywhere. I am running a K3 set on DATA. I think this is essentially USB. The waterfall is above the set frequency.

I did hear N5JDT in New Mexico again last night. Actually I was already asleep, but PSK Reporter recorded his call. I did work him two nights ago, so I have my very first 160m contact!

I will be on again tonight....

Thanks again.

Eric

PS; Dan, it took me 8 years to finally string up enough wire to work this band! :)

surprised you don't hear each other - both are USB?

You guys are likely close enough to work ground wave :)

I had to do QRZ to figure out where you were - didn't know the city.

I've worked many a contest running the bands with friends who are close, doing 160M with the tuner screaming but if you are close you really don't need a proper antenna (and Chuck during the TDW before I got the 80M dipole modified to work as a T-hat).

Will scramble to get all of the antennas fixed when I get back there on the 18th - all of the feedlines are dropped down into my hostas so it shouldn't take long. I have a line running out of my window so I can pull them back in (if I hadn't had a break in I probably would have left them running into the house but now...).

Eric,
Can we give it a try?
Tell me when. My rotatable antenna for 160m should be able to make it
from my valley to yours.
1.807 mHz ok with you?

Hello All,

I finally got enough wire in the air to work 160m. Last night I [barely]
made my first contact. This antenna is a limited time offer as it must
come down when the XYL comes home at the end of the month.

Anybody want to set a sked for 160?
