Some friends and I are planning a
portable operation on 160m using a
quadcopter to lift a quarter-wave
ground plane antenna. I'm the
senior ham in this group (licensed
since 1976) but I have rarely worked
SSB on MF or HF (preferring, as I do,
CW and digital). I've never worked
160m at all. I want to do this
right, so I have some questions,
submitted in the spirit of "the only
dumb question is the one you don't
ask."
Question 1: What frequencies are
appropriate for SSB QSOs on 160?
Question 2: I believe there is a
DX frequency or DX window on 160.
What is the DX frequency/window?
Question 3: Would it be OK to call
"CQ DX" on/in the DX frequency/window?
Thanks for your kind patience with my
seemingly newbie questions.
If there is any interest, I'll post
again once we select a date, and let
everyone know what time we plan to
be operating. We expect to have ~15
minute windows until the quadcopter
battery is depleted.
