I sold the fixed-up Viking 2 and VFO a year or two later, and moved away
from
that QTH in 1999. Someday I'll get back on 160.

I have lots more...

Ask Brian/W3RV about his inverted "L." It's meant for absolutely
every situation and every band. You just can't miss with his antenna.
There's no reason to stay off of 160.

W3RV has helped me with many antenna projects. He has expertise ranging from
large Yagis to simple wire antennas.

The implementation of practical HF antennas for amateur radio is about 95%
mechanical engineering and 5% electrical engineering.

I don't think it's that big an imbalance but I agree in principle, the
physical design and execution aspects of antenna apparatus within ham
radio do tend to fall more into M.E. country than they do into E.E.
country.

But of course to get anyone's help, it pays to ask in a nice way and actually
listen to/read the information provided.

Time/date/freq pse?

You forgot "mode?"

When I launched the challenge somewhere around here a couple days ago
I stated that it would be most convenient for me to latch up with
Weenie Willy on 20 or 40 ssb. I knew there was no point to even
thinking about a CW contact. "Do not feed the animals" . . . 'druther
let him make an ass of himself again with his only mode.

QSL?

Don't hold yer breath

Believe me I haven't.
