Comments:

Thanks again to Bert VE3QAA for the use of his antenna farm and Alpha Amp!

Station:
Yaesu FT-900 (and FT-757GX after FT-900 quit)
Alpha 87
100 ft vertical c/w 120 radials and a parasitic element tuned as a reflector 
(NE) or as a driector (SW) or untuned for omni.

Had a lot of fun and great success operating from here during the CQ160 SSB
contest last month, so thought I would try another Single Band 160 during WPX.

Very noisy (S9+) most of the weekend and not a lot of stations on 160. A lot of
effort to pull station in. Bert promised his beverages will be ready for next
winter! Tried to keep up the pace with VY2ZM but started to fall behind after
about 4 hours into the contest. He was working stations I could not hear.
Congrats Jeff on building a great station. Going to be hard work to unseat Jeff
when he operates from PEI on 160.

Highlights: Being called by OA4O and KH7R near my sunrise through the noise!

Will likely not repeat a 160 single band during WPX until the suspots decline a
bit more!
