You must be kidding!  I operated 30 hours in the CQ 160 and never turned my
AGC off even once.  I was in the middle of the major storm cell that moved
across the southeast with QRN SW of me Friday night and NE of me Saturday
night.  Somehow I still managed to make 1542 QSOs in 58 State/Prov and 68
countries with a total Score of 829,332 (probably 5th overall behind 3
stations in Maine and one on the Chesapeake shore).

I really don't understand your comments.  Would you mind sharing your
callsign and results in the CQ 160 so we know you are not simply a troll?

73,  Bill  W4ZV
