[EIDXA] Low Dipole

[Nelson Moyer]

Steve,

Those words aren't original with me. One of the topband gurus used a similar
phrase to describe 160 meter propagation in an article that I think was
published in CQ several years ago. I can't remember the exact quote or
issue, so I think I paraphrased.

This man has a way with words "160 meter propagation is a mystery 
wrapped inside an enigma." What a great description!! 73 Steve
