Hi All

I got up early this morning to work some 160m dx and observe 137 khz.

VO1NA was solid copy on 137.77 khz from 0537utc until long past daylight when I left the shack at 0550 utc (0700 local time and daylight)

My best DX on 160 cw was W5DR 579 and K5BG 599 also heard N7KA gone daylight !!

Good condx this morning.

Antenna on 137khz - 80 metre perimiter loop, matched and resonated for the band.

160 metre antenna inv L total length vert/horiz 1wavelength approx. 160 metres. I intend to modify this antenna into a 2 element phased vertical system, when I get some time.
