[OKDXA] 160m contest last night

Sat, 24 Jan 2004 16:30:30 -00

Same here Jim.  I was trying out my, new to me, Icom 781.  I worked 18
countries with 100 watts.  I heard many more that couldn't hear my hundred
watts.  I got up early this morning hoping for a JA run but didn't have any
propagation to JA.  I hope the opening last night is the beginning of
decent conditions on 160.

cul, Ed
