[160m] Working DX on 160 during the warmer months

[Peter Rimmel]

Check out www.n4is.com for some really interesting receive antennas that can rotate and fit on a tower. they really work... Carlos hears as if he had a rotatable 1000 ft beverage.  The plots he shows for the "Waller Flag" antennas he has up ar amazing!

I appreciate all your advice. I've thought of an array of short verticals
like you have, or perhaps staggered end-fire Beverages like ON4UN has in his
book. I think for now I'll concentrate on an amplifier (so it can be ready
by this fall), and gain experience with the rx antennas that I have before
going on to something else.

Thanks for your time, help, and inspiration. 160 has been a lot of fun so
far.
