W1REPSINGLE-OP LOWCarolina Windom 160 up 40ft
W1TKOSINGLE-OP LOWHalf-wave doublet wire antenna at 50 feet. ROOKIE overlay. This is a corrected re-submission. N1MM logger put incorrect QSO frequencies in the originally-generated Cabrillo file, but yet an ADI file generated from the very same set of QSOs contained the correct QSO frequencies. Very strange - seems like a bug in N1MM. I edited my CQ160 Cabrillo file to reflect the correct frequencies captured by the the ADI file, and am resubmitting it now.
W1WEFSINGLE-OP QRPFirst time QRP in ANY mode. Congrats to those who heard me!

WB5XSINGLE-OP LOW124m end fed L wire with 3 ground radials
WB8WUASINGLE-OP LOWUnfortunately, the 160 M air-wave conditions were rather weak and poor, with some noise. Still had fun getting 10 contacts with my neighboring states of Ohio. Thanks for this unique ssb 160M opportunity plan again next year. Unfortunately, I just use a simple short dipole antenna wire (close to the ground), with a large varable cap MFJ differential 'T' antenna tuner.

WQ6XSINGLE-OP QRPThis is another QRP-160 Experiment - we'll see HoW it GoeS. This was another WQ6X QRP Experiment - this time 160-SSB from Anza. Other operators had priority @WA6TQT so I snuck in a couple hours both evenings managing to put 10 QSOs into the log, using a crippled TRI-Square array. Read all about it at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com
