Rig is 300 watts - Started on 160 DXCC with 32 entities, finished DXCC in one winter season. My secret: JT65 !!!! (tnx K1JT) Try anything – you will be amazed how successful you can be on top-band with a little patience and VERY modest antennas. 73, Jay NY2NY _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
