I fully understand that, Lee. My comment was directed towards others who
were speaking of actual fishnet beacons.

Hi Jeff,
I have never heard a beacon on 160 without a callsign, but I believe you.
All the fishnet beacons do, the last I knew.
And unless I missed it, no one in this thread mentioned that either.

Terry,
You don't need a capacitor rated that high, as long as you don't make it
much longer than 1/4 wave on 160. Ohm's Law is your friend, just use one of
the formulas to calculate E from R and P. :-)

I agree with Roger for the QRM at the bottom of the band. I don't know what
they are, fishnet or beacons, but it's getting very hard to call CQ on this
part of the band.
By the way, for me in the central west part of France, conditions was much

I worked CT, CT3, F, JA, Kh6, KL7, UA9 for non carib or SA contacts. I
missed much of the early Saturday night opening as I was gone.
I was very happy to log the JA and UA9! Otherwise is was pretty poor.
80 and 40 were pretty lousy too.

I am very new on top band and only managed a handful of big guns on the

I think the beacons towards the bottom of the band are fishing nets (drift
nets) in eastern Europe/Asia. They are VERY loud on my east beverage. I
use 1812.60 to call CQ because that falls nicely in between the fishing net
signals.
I only had a quick listen this weekend on 160m and agree
