[OKDXA] 160 Meter Contest

[Jerry Chouinard]

Conditions must have been pretty fair as I used the Mark 5's tuner and loaded
my 40 meter beam up and proceeded to work quite a few states + XE1RCS.
Best DX was GA and SD!  Called several VEs and PJ2T but no joy.  I likely
sounded like QRPp so no surprise but was fun anyway.

The band was loaded with signals.
