[WVDXA] W8UV beat me to it with the " killer antenna "

[Hal Turley]

Awesome Tim! Congratulations on your arrival on Top Band!  I look forward to updates on your climb up the DXCC ladder on 160.  BTW, did you and Clark incorporate the coax-wound coil in yor system?  

Hey, don't let that Buckeye guy with the "killer" muscle you around.  Sounds like the W8TN-Special might be a real "Contender" in its own right!

Take care, 73
Hal, W8HC

        The vertical part of the antenna is about  40 to 45 feet..

  Tim, I heard you make the contact I wondered why your signal was so much stronger. What is the vertical length of you antenna.

I was ready to tryout the 160m Inverted L that Clark and I had worked on most of the day...I put out my call Kc8uhe !!!!!!!!!!  There was a large pile up returning his call for DX.. But who does NP4A come back to after the long wait?    W8UV with his killer  antenna...NP4A  returned  W8UV your report 599.....
                  Congratulations  Phil on the contact...
