[ADXA] RTTY

[jayw5jay]

Hi Joel,I always had a lot have fun on the top band when I had a shunt fed tower on 160 with a nice radial system. The 160m SSB contest were not so much for the DXCC, but for me was more about comradery and just being with the gang. Early going on 160 was to see if I could finish off WAS on that band. Like I was telling the guys at our local club meeting, life before FT8 achieving WAS on 160m a pretty good achievement from a city lot with no receive antenna.  Ditto for DXCC and WAZ on that top band is very difficult.I sure miss getting on that band. Someday I'll get my act together.73 jaySent from my Galaxy
