Bob,
I concur that this might be the reason that Top Band has been so difficult
for propagation to our area.
I heard them the first

Well, it was not as if I did not know it was going to happen someday, I had
remained pretty cheeky until this time. I had often knew it was sure to come. I
have remained pretty self-content that I had invented the ultimate DX antenna
for the state of Oregon. The Hi-Z 8A. In the hours that I
Exactly what antenna was he using? All we know is that it wasn't the Hi-Z
8A.

Lee,
No one's mentioned the "Spotlight" phenomenon, which occasionally happens
on 160. The signal comes shining down from the "upper layers" and
illuminates a very small area. Stations lucky enough to be in the covered
spot get to work the DX. Everyone else, well...
Can't remember where I

Huh? Did you miss mine this morning, or the half dozen replies?

Hello again Mike, Thanks for the question,
I have had as many as 4 of the directional Hi-Z and a new undisclosed
design experimental Low impedance element arrays running at one time for
comparisons. Some over 1000 feet apart.
From the plots of Eznec there is scant 1.4 dB RDF difference
Congrats to those out West that have VP8STI in the log. You guys
certainly had the good draw and the right angle. I did work them on 80m
using OMNI short vertical and 100W. They however were not even moving
the S meter.
I offer my theorem on why Western US contacts are infrequent in this

And to you, Milt. Not a dit here either. I wrote down calls of several
dozen stations who called, mostly for brief periods. I took that to mean
that 1) they worked them or 2) they no longer heard them. :) I
sure has a bag of tricks. I doubt we
will ever know and understand all the vagaries of 160 Meter propagation.
