[OKDXA] 160m contest last night

[Jerry Chouinard]

You beat me to the 160 report Jim.  I didn't jump in the test but did 
listen around with a full size Vee that has one side rolled up (position 
when not using) and the other side about the 80 meter length "hanging" from 
the tower due to a limb that snapped it back in the fall.  So, with that 
"fine" receiving antenna I too was hearing europeans.  Decided the band had 
to be in great shape.  A couple of HAs were louder than most stateside 
stations.
