---snip--- Hi Sam, I have been listening to 160 at various times of the day and night for several months while getting old gear overhauled enough to go on the air and then an antenna that will accept RF. There is a lot of the DX machine thing that you mentioned and I have heard a very few foreign stations from the south (Canada is only a few miles away and a lead pipe cinch). I have also heard some ragchews on 160 CW. Sometimes I have heard both sides. If we get on and call CQ..like Eddy does..we can have some rag chew QSOs. If we only listen to the CQDX ops it ain't gonna happen. Your comments are partly true <grin>. We can change that. 73, Bill KU8H _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
