As a result of activity on October I made over 2K QSO including 452 in CQ WW SSB on 160 meters. First hour of the contest (on 80 meters) I heard excellent signal from W5WMU and worked LA few minutes later.
My 160 m setup was:
IC-775DSP
ACOM2000A
2 element Quad EU/USA @ 50 meters
Half-square East-West @ 50 meters
320 m 2-direction Beverage NW-SE
157 m 2-direction Beverage NE-SW
During week of my activity on October I logged 8 QSO with USA on 160 meters and 42 on 80. Special thanks to Dennis NT0V and Wayne N7NG for pation and concern to my project. Sked with K0HA was very close to success and I copied solid 559 signal from Bill. I am sure that we will try it again on November. I was asked many times why I spent my SR time on 80 and do not come on 160? I will certanly spent best time on 160 but when I work my last state.
