EJ…
Big congrats for being the only ADXA member who worked the D60AE on 160m! 😊
Luckily the FT modes can work things that you can not hear sometimes on CW. You proved that!! Hi And the antenna system you have proves to do so well on low angle radiation distances. Great accomplishment for sure. You are the only station in AR and all of W5 land to have ‘em on 160m and only 3 total in all of Zone 4!!
I barely heard them in and out on 3.5 but doubt would hear at all on SSB.. IIWII No antenna for 160 like in my old days and slowly having 200+ confirmed; luckily got first 160m DXCC west of Mississippi #18 in 1980.. I was on top of a big hill in West LR and had tall tower and good capacitor ground feed system installed, feeding the tower shunt feed. Also fed the tower system on 80m back then and had a second ¼ wave 80m sloper too, just in case! 😃
Again, great job in getting D60 on our “low band” 160m.. 👍
Joel, Rick and Earl: you chasers have 3 more days to get ‘em on 160m. Not many will for sure! Only
