Hey from Kiel,
last week we had very good propagation on 160m to EU.
Worked any new DXCCs.
Hope condx will be good next
days in CQWW CW.
Will operate from DR4A.
Hope to work all again in contest.
Any soundfiles 160m
from the last weeks are here:

100w, sure you have good RX than i'm use more pwr.

In one of Beverage's old articles, there is a page or two devoted to adding
coils to lower the velocity of the antenna.
If I recall correctly, it has both theory and measurements.

Hi guys,
Just saw this page and it presented info that a BOG is a resonant
antenna. It gives me a little boost
about adding inductance to the antenna to artificially lengthen it.
http://www.iv3prk.it/bog-modeling.htm
Is there any agreement about this or anyone want to shoot it down?

"I'd like to apply the loading to a BOG to slow the VF and make it seems
longer.
ie. make a 80 meter BOG length work on 160 Meters. But then make the
reactance go away for 80 Meters
My actual goal is to have a BOG that covers 500kHz to 4MHz. "
Mikek, I see you haven't given up

Large swaths of both the contesting and DXing communities are not hooked up for
RBN skimmer spots. No more than a few percent of supposedly active cluster
nodes even carry skimmer spots. As a result there is a very real spike in
activity when manual spots are entered into the cluster even in CW
Very sorry , forgot to add, if spot becomes "stale", a small QSY will ensure a
new spot73 Dave G3NKC Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Hi Roger , Not questioning self spotting, but you should get picked up by
skimmers when CQ ing?? W3LPL is a great example. I'm on all bands this weekend
from MD4K, we were getting out well in the SSB event with a dipole at 60ft.
Worked PZ5K On SSB !Hoping condx are good this weekend73 Dave,
Well that's depressing...I thought my 160 sig was really BOOMIN' in
there! :-)))

Sorry to post a string of comments . . . but there's something else I wanted

Great that conditions have been good this week . . . like many, I've been

However, having been a 160m DXer for 50 years, it's weird that
That's very interesting Steve . . .
I've often been amazed at seeing my signals reported at 40 or even 50dB
above the noise at different NA RBN sites . . .
However, thinking about it, it's often from endless CQ Calls when I'm
getting no replies, so I guess it IS reporting MY signals.

Well conditions were quite up and down last night . . . but good to hear
quite a lot of stations making the effort to get on Top Band on CW.
The whole idea is to at least have a FOCUS of at least one night when we can
get a lot of stations on the band working each other, and Wednesday seems a
