Comments:
This was my second ARRL 160m contest. Had a geat time. Made 10% more QSOs,
but just barely beat last year's score by 40 points. Had to do it by brute
force, as I just couldn't quite reach some of the sections I worked last year.
You could plot my coverage circle on a map. BC, WA, ID, MT, WY, CO, AZ, plus
HI across the salt water. I chased three stations in NM through most of the
test, and never got even a ? out of them. Guess they were on the other side of
the line. :-)
The Flag receiving antenna worked out well, and was my primary receiving
antenna facing east. I used a tuned loop for the N-S path. It's null was very
good. A Utah station that was loud on the Flag was very weak on the tuned
loop.
Looking foreward to trying the CQ WW 160m contest for the first time.
