[SADXA] ARRL_160_Contest

[Michael Gibson]

 Very sorry to hear this comment, Wes.
This is the first comment of this naturethat I have seen since I relocatedhere from Hawaii some years ago....

I am running a Yaesu FT-1000MP, bought brand new in 1997.I got the key clicks modification done less than a year later.Running a Ten Tec Titan (bought from K7NN) at 1200 watts, toa home made inverted L with an apex height of 48 feet, using 4elevated radials. K7NN and I have known each other for 50+ years.
Perhaps a direct message, to me, would have been more appropriate?

 Although I'm not much of a contest op, I dabbled in the 160 contest for a few 
hours.  Strictly an S&P effort. With a few exceptions I pretty much worked 
everyone I heard and called.  After a few hours you run out of new ones.  I did 
work four JAs, I think before anyone else heard them.  I heard and called PJ2T 
but as often the case they didn't hear me.  My experience is that Caribbean 
stations are deaf to the west.  Maybe they have RX antennas pointed to EU or 
something.   As usual KH7X destroys the band for me.

128 Qs, 272 Points, 51 multipliers = 13821
