Asia from out here in Arizona and my hopes of having a great opening the
next night was ruined by a big geomagnetic s
Hello Anton
I have been in Indonesia five times - always to Bandung on business. I
finally was able to buy a place in Arizona with enough property to put
up some antennas. For 160m, I put up an Inverted L on a 70 foot tower -

If you use snap-on ferrites, make sure they are #31 mix. 31 mix is

I put up a 70 foot tower (Tashjian DX-70) with a SteppIR DB-36 Yagi
about 5 feet above it last year. I hung an IAC "Double Bazooka"
Inverted L on it with 3 to 4 foot yardarm at the top of the tower. The
tower is on the highest peak of my property and none of the pine trees
