Gaby's qrz.com QSLing instructions are a bit confusing but I got my 160m QSL
all OK via EA5BYP.
However, I confirmed the route by email with him first just to check.
As said, be aware EA5BYP is off on his 3C Dxped soon so very busy I'd
imagine.

Yes, this is the way to do it. OD5NH was getting this bad rap too. You don't
need to send a SAE to OD5NH either as he returns it via postcard - avoids
suspicion by the police. Registered mail is quite expensive however.

That's not really true. My first QSL for 160 to Lebanon for 8 April,
2011 QSO was not answered. I e-mailed Gabby on 25 July, and got an
immediate answer that he had not received it.
I sent a second, also to his p.o. box 70647, Antelias, Lebanon address,
BUT REGISTERED, on 26 July
Hello to All
I have 7 QSO witch OD5NJ 1995-2005 , 3 time send direct
QSL + IRC and G.S. but never get his QSL...:-(

Gaby says top band Q not through EA5BYP.
I mailed a card and $3 from A7 3 weeks ago, it has not gotten to him yet.

Go via EA5BYP - but be patient he's about to go to 3C and 3C0.
Has anyone in North America worked 3C0 - Annobon Island on Topband?

Awhile back I had an issue where i was losing signal after transmitting , i
found out that the antenna was basically shorted to ground and it appears that
it may have done something to the switch . I currently have antennas on
positions 2 and 6 , if I am listening to a signal that is S5 and i s
Somewhere, somebody managed to get a TS-940 to transmit down there at around
the 10 milliwatt level out of the transverter port. Ive been looking for
that info but no luck yet.

I do hold a 600m special transmit license, never gave it a serious try, any

As soon as I know noone ever transmitted on 500 kHz in Portugal.

We will be QRV from March 18 to March 27th.and will work the WPX as A25HQ.
We hope to have an inverted L with amp and Beverage for top band.

Hi Mike,
I think you're confusing this with the so-called "Lowfers Band", from 160- to
190-KHz..
I don't want to say for certain, but "seems" like VE1ZZ played around with
this band as well some years back.
I vaguely recall reading a story about Jack making this humoungous loading
coil, but don't know how
it even panned out. Was there a special temp permit?
Does anyone know?
Jack/ZZ is no

Much higher noise levels at 472 khz present a significantly more difficult

I believe the proposed rule is 2 watts ERP. The typical 70 x 50 foot top
band inverted-L can be base loaded on 500 kHz using a 500 kHz inductor.
Given an inductor Q of 300 and ground loss of 20 ohms we have a radiation
efficiency of 4%. Drive the antenna with 50 watts and you're on the air at

Several are working well over 500 miles at night and 300 daytime with under

10W mainly due to a small radial field.

The legal limit is defined in terms of EIRP,
1 to 5 watts. You only need a few percent
efficiency if you have a reasonably powerful
transmitter. Any decent 160 meter transmit
antenna, with additional base loading, will
be fine. Transmit arrays of course don't make
sense.
BTW, the wavelength is
Didn't I read somewhere that this band only allowed 1W ERP and antennas less

Things are looking good at WRC-12. Approval of an international
amateur radio allocation around 470 kHz seems very likely:
