My first 160m contact 4u1un 01/05/2008. At year end 92 worked.
About 25 countries noted I missed. May have been possible from a
better or at least rural station.
Gentleman's band? I note no difference than any other.
Biggest hurdle East coast stations with better propagation, my local
QRN(residential noise), and stations making long calls on top of
responding weak DX stations (missed my call).
QSL rate seems good and fairly fast with direct 2$ and SAE.
8 more by season end? I wouldn't bet big money on it. I was
disillusioned at the start!
