I worked them on 60, 20, 40, 80, and 160 in under 15 minutes all for new bands.
The 160 contact was a bit tough with the static crashes and no receive antenna deployed.

They are stronger on 160 now and easier copy, in case anyone needs. Still a lot of static crashes, of course.  I am copying on a 148ft Inverted L no problem.

I got them from the new place on 160 using my old end fed, 100w. Too scared to turn on the amp just yet in the HOA. That Q was 0406Z on 4/15.

Needed VP2/V for the last band fill on 160. now only need them on 6.

It would be nice to get them on 160 CW.

Sorry I missed the wonderful dinner this month, I was busy here with fiber internet, water pipe repairs, and getting my endfed up (without the neighbors knowing). Finished at 6pm, so by the time i would've got there, it would have been 8pm. See you next month.
