Soapbox:  I've always liked 160M and this contest.  It was really hard to
give up a decent 160M setup when I downsized.  With my only antenna being a
flagpole I knew I would be very compatible.  I've found that I can hear
some stations and make some QSOs on 160m.  I can run up to 300 watts
without getting any arcing in my over-extended antenna tuner.  I was able
to work stations as far west as Illinois and North/south from VE3 to
Florida.  So I did have fun!

 Band     QSOs     Pts  Sec  Cty
         1.8      61     122   23    0
       Total     61     122   23    0

Rig:  Flex 6600, Power Genius Amp, AT-Auto antenna tuner
Antenna:  24 ft flagpole
