[CW] ARRL's Reply Comment re Baud Rate Petition

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

With a decent antenna, DX is easy on 80m.  In fact it's even easier on 160
meters.

I have never worked Japan with 20 dB over S9 signals as I have on 160m but
a good antenna was needed.  130 foot vertical with a bunch of radials in a
salt marsh and 1.5 kW makes DX as easy as fishing in a bathtub with
dynamite. O:-)   Well, you DO have to have fish swimming at the time!
