Another great video Peter. I think 160m is a great band for local ragchew nets. I sometimes use my homebrew poppet qrp tx but there is little am activity in my area, only ssb. I have not been portable for a long time but have enjoyed your videos and may give it a try when the wx is better as i live near the beach. What antenna are you using and how long?
@m0dad Antenna is a (nearly) top loaded vertical on a 9m pole. Some of the other 160m videos have better pics of it. A portable DSB rig would be a great project on 160m, maybe using a 2 MHz ceramic resonator pulled down.

Hi Peter - before you had the Seacom radio, what did you used to use for 160m AM portable use and how did it compare?

@stadiumapartments Always had the Seacom. Have other rigs but the Seacom is best.
