On the weekend I was playing with my 11 m long wire antenna. Propable one of the best tests for such a "fishing rod antenna" is chasing some DX, especially on Low Bands.
I got 9G5ZZ on 80m, and I got VY2ZM on 160m with 100W, both in CW. The distance between my QTH and VY2ZM (Eastern Kings County, Prince Edward Island) is more than 5300 km. Fascinating... isn't it?! But that is not a miracle if you take a look at the VY2ZM station. The propagation conditions must had been very good.
My best DX before (@home, 100W, CW) on the Top Band was UU4JMG with ODX just under 2000 km, one year ago. I also heard some US stations, but...
