 I worked AA7JV/MM in the 160 contest. N1MM balked at entering 2 in the section 
field but a flag said to place an "R" in front of the number and N1MM logged 
the QSO.
I tried submitting my 160 log to ARRL and got an error "copied exchange 
(itureg) is missing". What should the proper exchange format so the ARRL robot 
will accept my log?

 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,

AA7JV/MM -- Region 2
