Comments:
My goals were unchanged from last year:
a personal best; add to my DXCC total of 86:
add to my WAS total of 45.
I didn't meet any of them. :(
I must improve my comprise antenna system or give up
on 160 contests -- they are too frustrating. There were
just too many loud stations that could not hear me.
There was a lot of QSB as well -- and conditions were not
great, but that affects everyone. There were also a number
of weak stations that did heard me -- thanks! This was my
9th attempt at this contest, and my 4th worst score.
Hopefully 10m will be great this coming weekend.

Actual BIC = 7:29 hours (Classic "60 minute" time = 9:12)
Antenna: my 160 "dipole" is part of a fan dipole that
has evolved over the past 15 years. It's really a
hodge-podge. A trapped 80/40/30 [SE-NW] AND a
trapped 160/75 [S-N, with the north end turning
a few times to fit in the yard] -- 35' at center,
between 30' and 15' at the various ends. My
back yard is small, and I have no tall trees.
