EH- Antenna for the 160- meter Band

I decided take part in the CQ- WWW 160-m DX CONTEST in class CW. For the test I used my ICOM- 7000 and 80 Watts going to the EH- Antenna.

 Before the contest lots stations do training in the Air. I have QSO with OH8X, UA1ANA, RV2FZ, RU3BB, OK1AXB, SM6VJA/p, OM8LA, UA3UDE, RX3APM, OH4XX, LY3W, UT4UJ, UY2UA, OM3BH, RV9YZ, RW9TR, RN3GM/2, RV9CX, EN1IFF/p, RN3QY, RU4PU, SP2LNW, S56P, DK2OY, UP2L, OM5KM, LY1CM, HA1TJ, UW5U, OK1DSZ, UA3QDX...

It is 22.00- GMT, contest is started. EH-Antenna works well and I already have QSO with UA3BS, UZ1H, UA2FL, LY6A, LY2OU, YL9T, UA1QM, LY9A, EW6GF, YR5N, RG3K... Figure 7 shows pages from the contest. Log in Cabrillo may be downloaded from: http://ehant.qrz.ru/ua1aco.cbr

I made 200 QSOs with 32- WAZ- zones and got near 27000 points.

I proved by my routine work in the Air and by the contest that my EH- Antenna for 160-m worked and it is worked not bad. Off course, it is not a "Mamont" antenna that is installed by the hams from Finland

But the antenna works and I believe that is good variant for those who cannot install traditional antennas at the 160-m.
