I tried to get you guys some company last night on 160 by posting on 2
of the facebook AM groups that 160 was open and that Don was calling
CQ on 1885. I can't work 160 myself, I have an indoor dipole for
80-2m, It's an MFJ Outbacker clone. (2 in an MFJ 3/8-24 dipole mount)
I can only run 40 watts carrier anyway. About 150 watts pep on the
super sr. class D transmitter, or about 25 watts on the FT-857. So I'm
never heard. I can listen on 160 on the Yaesu, but not very well. My
auto tuner is usually pretty good about tuning up lawn furniture, but
I can't tune the 80m setting on the antenna to 160 for some reason. Oh
well, apartment life sucks.
