I've been transmitting a couple of evenings last week, but has so far
not heard anyone but the 7S6 (which I received loud and clear on a
160m dipole).  The current antenna is much better though (as measured
against the commercial stations).  I'm kinda puzzled by the fact that
I haven't heard anyone.

I better re-run my calculations, as the ones I did would indicate 
that at least the 7-10 of you should be well within the limits.

Current antenna is an inverted L with 12 meter vertical and 150
meter horizontal legs.  The horizontal slopes from 25-30 meters
down to about 15 meters above ground.

I'll be putting up some photos and station details at the website
this week..  (URL:http://la1k.samfundet.no/)
