Just two years DU7ET worked WAS on 160m using an inverted V. Robert had a
good signal long path almost every day for six months. By the way , he told
me he will be active from DU7ET again starting is October.

Is there any advantage to using an inverted V
use of chokes.
Horizontal flag does help but needs to be high above ground.

don't like about HRH is the commercial aspect of it, U$ /min air
time. The legality of it depends on the money behind each side. We can lose
our privileges with this precedent. It depends in how much money will in the
table. Best strategy is do not play it, if you don't want to live with t
Tomi
(HA7RY). During 28 days of operation we made a total of 36,148 QSO-s, of
which 3,425 were on 160 meters

I think propagation should be taken in consideration on 160, nowadays has
been hard to work Europe form Florida, I don't remember propagation so
difficult like the one we are experiencing during this second peak if the
solar cycle.
K1N results on 160 m are just fantastic.

I am surprised they installed dipoles, they may get a last minute approval but
wires were not allowed by USFWS.
That’s why there are no beverages on K1N plan.
