Hi Tom,

I have been thinking about this 160 Meter thing.  Since I have no antenna
for this band I have been using the old slide rule to calculate some
figures.  Here is what I have come up with:

160 meters divided by 27 Mhz equals 5.9 roughly so if I get 1 point per
SSB Q then I need 6 Q's to equal one 160 SSB contact and if I get 2
points per CW Q this requires 3 CW Q's and surely I should get  4 points
per RTTY Q so 2 RTTY Q's on 27 Mhz would make one "GOOD ONE" on 160.

I know that I can count on you & AK0A to help make these two Q's for my
"first ever" 160 effort.
