Re: Topband: 160m loaded tower
In a number of QSOs recently, other stations made easy contact and my station struggled. I make sure to exclude stations on the east coast and those with 4sq.

Re: Topband: 160m loaded tower
Ignacy, Is your thought that you are a few dB weaker based on sone kind of A-B test of the two antenna setups or just that you feel weaker? 73…Stan, K5GO Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 17, 2023, at 9:44 PM, Ignacy Misztal wrote: > > I have a 100 ft tower with jk mid tri 40 on top.

Topband: 160m loaded tower
I have a 100 ft tower with jk mid tri 40 on top. When shunt fed, it was pretty competitive on 160. Recently the antenna seems to be a few db weaker. The only change was adding another beam at 60ft. Could it have had an impact? Adding the beam only marginally affected the match. Ignacy NO9E _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
