Everyone:
During this trip and despite limited operating time (away
from work), I had really hoped to activate SU on 160m.. I
spent last night at SU1SK QTH.. 160m is really not
workable until he moves to a new QTH which he plans to do
within a year or two. Said's home is a small high-rise
building with nearby high-rise buildings all around. 160m
antenna requires permission from many neighbors to install
and some of the neighbor kids have cut his 160m wire
antenna many times right after he installs it. In
surveying the available QTH, I was unable to find a better
way.
I tried to find a way to operate from my hotel by my room
faces east and the rooms to the west overlook a court-yard
at Marriott where it is not acceptable to have a wire
hanging above.. so not looking good for SU 160m.. I'm
sorry about that but I will continue to look for a way
perhaps for a future trip.
