single op, low-power, about 4.5 hrs

First time in the 160 m 'test. Actually, this was more fun
that I thought it would be. I shunt-feed my tower and have no
separate rx antenna, so I'm sure there was stuff calling me that I
couldn't hear. I hit the hay at around 08Z and heard some guys
working G's but couldn't hear a whisper from the guys they were
working. I originally started out trying QRO (about 600W from my
station) but found that I locked up NA whenever i transmitted (my
tower is only about 15 feet from my operating position). It was
really wierd: everything would lock key-down until I manually stopped
the RF; then everything continued normally!
See you on 10 m!
