Good Morning:

Last weekend's 160-meter content was the first 160-meter event I have ever 
participated in.

My 160m capability is modest and my station may not even qualify as a "little 
pistol" (more appropriately, a "water pistol").

I still had a good time, logged numerous new stations, and added three states 
to my 160-meter log.

Time to start thinking about a better antenna. A few people have reported 
success on 160m with an "inverted U". I wonder how well such an antenna would 
work on other 160m and other bands.
