Thank you James! I do not think I have done the QRP ARCI events in the past
but I will give this 160M one a try. Wednesday right before Thanksgiving
actually works out well for me. This will be my first SO2R effort, and I
will be doing some improvements to give me pushbutton receive antenna
selection at both rigs.
There is also a NAQCC 160M event coming up in January:

In the NAQCC 160M events I reliably have good solid exchanges with from
upper midwest down to Texas. My west-facing pennant is a real winner to
upper midwest and my K9AY pointing SW works good for Texas and Georgia etc.
Sweepstakes certainly doesn't have much representation on 160M but I was
very impressed by many impressive QRP station performances on 80M in both
CW and SSB sweepstakes.
