Late last night K5D was working 160 LSB on 1.846, they even took about 10
minutes to call for West Coast ops but I couldn't break through with my
little wire antenna.  Then they switched back to CW.  I hope they fire up
the SSB again.
Wes they are logging some busted QSO's.  When I first worked them on 160 CW,
they logged KR7RT.  It shows in their log even though there is no such
license out there.  I waited about half an hour and worked them again and
they got it right the second time around.

Yesterday I added some wire to the ends of my 80-meter Inverted Vee to
resonate it on 160.  I was hearing K5D well at 10-11 PM (local) but he was
working EU so I figured I'd get a few ZZZ and try after EU sunrise.  I got
up at 2AM and he was gone.  From the looks of the spots, he quit at about
1:30 AM so I went back to bed and then slept in this morning and missed them
again.  Oh well, there's still tonight.

My count is 10 band/modes although their log shows me working them twice on
15 SSB, which I didn't do.

Well when I got home I found out one leg of my 75 blew down and besides 
messing up my 75 it also detuned the 160 so I could do nothing with either 
of them till this morning .

Would not have guessed one leg of the 75 hanging down next to the tower 
would detune the tower that much. Live and learn.

Everything is in place now for the contest this weekend.

I will give the LOTW a try also as I know there are several hundred 
requesting my QSL.
