SkookumLogger; K4 + KPA1500; 12-el tribander, 2-el 40, wires, all about 60f t up; W1FV 9-circle RX array. - k1gq Flex-6600 Antennas: SteppIR DB32, SteppIR 3el, Inverted-L - kt9l Just made three one hourish S&P passes throughout night up and down the band. Slowly turning the dial looking for possible weak DX. Did work PJ2/W4IPC for a nice 9 pointer. I did have a higher than usual noise level resting at about S7, bouncing to S9 plus with lighting static from storms in MO and KS. Normally my noise floor is right around S2-3. Rig, K3S 100 watts to 22' vertical to knee inverted L 110' horizontal wire traveling west ~18-20' above ground. 73, Gene N9TF - n9tf Best QRB is 3700km for PJ2/W4IPC at FK52 - na8v Very poor conditions and high QRN, heard only two very weak USA stns and couldn't copy well enough to complete a QSO. - ok5wa Flex-6600 Antennas: Fan dipole in inverted-V - ve2fxl Low QRN levels and a few new ones to work. I always look forward to any top band Q's. - w9re There was not so much 160M summer activity, but I still had fun getting 8 short-skip cw contacts. I intend to participate more on the future Stew Perry contests. - wb8wua
