George — you were very loud on my rain gutter antenna and thank you for the
contact. You hear well!
Despite a minimal antenna with high local noise and around 50 watts, I worked
the following patient DX in the contest:
DX: ZF9CW, KP4AA, PJ2T, AA7JV/MM & VP5M.
Got on to hand out a few Qs to contestants while watching 6 for UT1FG/MM. No 80
or 160M antenna. Stations went in the log, I set a goal of 50. Then 100....
Forgot how fun and challenging 160M can be. Plan a better set up next year.

I thought propagation was very good.
MM in the Pacific from about 1400 miles west of Panama (in DJ76), I could
hear EU, including R3 stations quite well.
No man-made noise here, except my own.
CU and 73,
George
AA7JV/MM -- Region 2
