Gang,
I put up an Inverted L for 160M which appears to be working pretty well. I
worked a guy in Alaska with it last Monday with 100watts.
Tonight I decided to cruise the BCB band with it.
It is, at the moment, 0114 local and I am listening to KNBR 680 from here in
Boone, IA. This is the
Noted KKFN / 950 Denver is stunting with an endless loop of a couple
classic country songs and liners promoting an upcoming format swap to
Wide Open Country. Mentioned that the new format will include old
music, new music, and legends.

Radio Australia carries a great deal of content from its parent organization
ABC. It can be hard to tell which programs originate from RA itself and which
not.
There is nothing scheduled on the sparsely-used 21 MHz band in the range you

A longer round of listening today, from 1220UT for about an hour. Conditions
were very erratic, and fairly heavily slanted towards Down Under, especially
later, and it was often quite difficult to get bearings on a signal.
Interestingly, 774 was the frequency to be, with both top strength

Hey Paul:
I will let others throw in their more vast experience here, but here is my
two cents.
Make sure you have an SSB receiver that is truly designed to still be
sensitive on the LW frequencies, fitted a narrow CW filter (500 hz or less
is great). Since you're only listening to one
