    *********************************************************************

    Never had any idea I would even break 200, that was my goal. Wish I
    would have had more time, but had family stuff involved in the weekend.

    Worked VP5A, only heard him once in the contest, anyone else work him?
    Couldn't hear NL7GP here, never heard KH6CC for PAC either. 

    I think this pair of 8875's should put out more than 600w with 110w
    drive power. Any ideas out there?  Anyone converted there MLA-2500 over
    to 3CX800, or can this be done?

    Thanks to everyone for the Q's.

*********************************************************************

Thisis the first 160 Meter contest I have done. From reading QST these
are the classes that are used. If you do not put a class, you will be
put in Single HP/Un. Let me know of any corrections. When you see the
number in between Sect and DX, that means whoever submitted the score
added together their multis.

Soapbox:
Played around Fri/Sat. night, had other stuff going on all weekend, missed
the openings to JA/VK. Heard Europe (ON4UN) but sigs were too weak to 
bother. Hope to get it together for CQ 160 in January. 

I had great results CQing around 1.865, very little QRM up there.

Yes, the window policemen were out in full force.  I worked someone on 
1.837.3 and heard "DX window" repeated 2x after the QSO. guess the cop 
didn't have a 250/500 Hz filter.  Also heard an unsuspecting station call 
CQ in the window and there was literally a pileup of "DX window" responses.

Highlights:
Getting called by AH6AZ.

Overall a great contest, just wish I had more time to play!

Yeah!  I'll send you one...

WHATS THE POINT ?...I sure get as excited as the next guy when I can stretch
the envelope and work KH6CC with 5 watts....BUT ONCE IS ENOUGH....and surely
a whole weekend of it is WAY OUTA LINE!
and doing it YEAR AFTER YEAR????!!!     whew..........

Well QRP on 160 is some special kind of masochism...
suggest you find   alt.rec.radio.masochism.160  as a 
support group  on www.

Fun is fun, and not getting anyone to answer after calling em for 2 hours is
NOT MY KINDA FUN! especially when its W0SD on 160 from  10PM to midnite.
Somehow the reward of that  599SD, after he has given it to hundreds of
others is really not  worth the effort.


If you use a KW amp I'lll send you a cigar, but if you plan on going 100
watts it 'll have to be a cigarillo.

Good luck in your NEW hobby of QRO, and Ill see you on 10 meters at the top
of the cycle with 5 watts and
have some REAL FUN!.
