The summer season continues... and personally I'm 160M's increasingly fascinated. On my DXCC, 100 entities... to be almost finished, and am a little sorry to hear it :-) ... will be a new starting point, I think. This month, I worked three new one: VK6GX ( my top distance ), YE0M and the legendary Ross, 9M2AX.
-- On Summer noise: I live in a small valley, quite far from the city, silent and dark. The base of my Inv.DeltaLoop sheering off the small river shore... so, silent place. ... But, these days, I am beginning to know the summer static crashes and so on: terrible! Yesterday evening, on ZS1REC, due to that very high static shock... dropped by the wayside. -- Anybody know if the AT1HQ and/or 9Y4HQ will operate on 160? See you there and GL to everybody on IARU. 73 Alessandro, IZ5MOQ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
