I listened for you guys down that way but with my modest antenna system (GAP
Voyager - no RX antenna) nothing was heard here. QRN was light but building in
the AM in the midwest US but still not too bad.

I listened yesterday evening through much of NA sunrise. I could see
there were many stations on, but few were loud enough to make it through
the storm QRN this end. After calling a few of the more readable
stations with no response, I went to bed. I heard VK3NX call and
eventually work AA6AA,
As Tree said the condx were pretty good this Saturday for the Lowband Jack
version of the Stew contest.
The trans-polar EU path was very steady throughout the evening.
I managed to log 71 EU which I think is a one-night record for me on 160m.
Last week I worked 51 EU one evening, but I think
Hi Dave,
270 foot spacing is a good choice only if you're trying to eliminate
QRN from local RFI sources not propagating via the ionosphere.
Otherwise 350 foot spacing is optimum for suppressing QRM/QRN
arriving via the ionosphere

Wow!! This was a lot of fun.
Always nice to see the band scope filled up with CW signals from 1810 to
1839. I didn't see anyone up above the FT8 signals, but there might have
been some.
The band seemed very quiet - and I could hear really well, although signals
were not really strong. LY7M
I forgot the contest was on. I came on around 0630 UTC, called CQ and was
called shortly after by KL7SB, who was 599 here. It was good to work a few
more NA around our SR, including VE6WZ who was peaking a staggering 15db
over nine.
Good to see that weekend contests still generate lots of
I think the spacing is a bit wide try something more on the order of
250-270' ( goes through the middle of the house right 8^)

I came on for a couple of hours last night in the Contest, but conditions
were strange.

Hi Kenny,
A single 580 foot Beverage is an excellent 160, 80 and 40 meter antenna.
I still have three of them (NE. S. W) even though I also have 8-circle
arrays for 160, 80 and 40 meters.
I've never used a pair of staggered Beverages with 350 foot broadside
spacing, these are ideas based
My new house has 6 wooded acres in roughly a square. For EU, I was hoping to
get a pair of phased 500’ beverages spaced 350’ apart. To do that, one of the 2
beverages will be 110’ in front of the other due to the lot-line orientation.
Regardless of the phasing I’m modeling, the side and back
