At 160m, I think the earth-electrode "antenna" acts as a loop antenna in the ground, although the propagation is by normal means. At higher frequencies the loop get progressively less effective. At 160m I am surprised how well it works. It exceeds expectations.

Stll I don't understand why you didn't receive Japan on 160m. But of course it can be that that direction is a "dead" angle for your antenna. A few days ago I listened on 160m for Japan again and decoded 2 stations at about -18dB. VK4 is a good catch! 73, Bas
