However, the performance of this antenna in the AM broad-
cast band is SUPERB! I'm hearing stations all over the band
at night, from as far away as Chicago and Los Angeles. So
I've got hope the antenna won't be a complete flop on 160.

Last night I worked several of the Ohio QSO party stations
on 40 meters with many amazed at my "QRP with a wire"
setup...... not to bad from Colorado.....

Hi Ken,

Not to rain on your parade, but as a teenager in Colorado Springs,
back in the 60's, I had a 50' longwire traced along the fence rail at
roughly 6'. I could AM DX both coasts on my RBB-1 (WWII shipboard
receiver which weighed as much as a pocket battleship).

That just reassures me I'm on the right track. I'd have picked
up more stations but they were all on top of each other in a big
jumble...
