I played in the ARRL 160 contest least night for a bit over an hour. I 
lost track of when the contest was and so missed the first night, but 
that's OK because I wasn't truly prepared for two late nights; I'm not 
sure two late-nighters in a row is even possible for me these days! I 
also didn't water the area under my antenna, so my TX antenna efficiency 
was not optimal.

I was strictly S&P, high power,  single op would more or less ran 
through spots. Results: 60 Qs, 4428 points claimed. I only heard one DX 
station: PJ2T. I saw others spotted but never heard them on my K9AY 
loops or any other antenna I tried.

73,

reasons. First to discourage the composer from writing any more and 
secondly to remind myself how much I appreciate Beethoven." – Jascha
