Soapbox:  I entered this contest with one goal - to make a QSO with my
neighbor Hank K3YDX.  Did that.  I didn't expect to make any other QSOs
since my antenna is a 20 ft flag pole running 500 watts.  I imagine my ERP
was in the QRP range with such a short antenna.

Much to my surprise I made a few more as well.  Was able to make QSOs as
far west as Illinois, north as VE2, and south as far as ZF.  Was on for
about three hours.  Sure was fun getting on 160M again.

Log submitted.
