Comments:

100 watts. G5RV (shorted to work as a Marconi with 10 radials) at 35 feet.

Only my second 160 meter contest. Low power and a minimal antenna made for a
real challenge from Hawaii. All but one of my 28 contacts were made Friday
night.  I guess I worked everyone who could hear me Friday, because I was only
able to make one contact Saturday night. Signals seemed stronger Saturday
night, but no one could hear me. I was surprised that I worked both VE6SV and
VE6BBP with only one call, but could not work many West Coast stations no
matter how many times I called them.  My only contact east of Colorado and
Alberta was VE3EJ who must have great ears to have heard my whisper. I called
many stations in Texas many times both nights, but none of them could hear me.
Thanks to all who dug me out. I hope to try again next year with a better
antenna.

Aloha, Kent
