As I have said in the past, I have entered the 160 contests  knowing full well 
I would not "win". Several times I actually won the Orange Section. Most like 
because the big guns here didn't enter. Many times I have gotten a "tnx for 
ORG", which made me feel useful.

My goal in most contests is to work new countries/states, but the primary goal 
is to beat MY PREVIOUS SCORE, not someone else.

Having worked I lot of 80 mobile to help finish all US Counties, I think a poke 
in the eye with a sharp stick would be more fun than 160 mobile unless you have 
a set up like Don, KH6DX

Rick, N6PE

===============================================================

Remember, If you have sails for 3 MPH there is a guy with a 1 MPH sail that 
will beat you.
