[OKDXA] ARRL 160 Contest report

[John Geiger]

Terry,

Nice to work you in the contest, and I agree,
conditions were very good both nights, at least
stateside.  I was hearing the NE stations better than
usual, and worked 4 new states on 160m: NV, NY, CT,
and ME.  Glad to see I am not one of the famous OK
contest stations on 160 since my antenna sucks on this
band.  Still, made the highest score that I have done
in this contest since moving to OK in 2001.
