As the gray line passed over their QTH, the signal went from a whisper to
579 on my inverted L.  Not much of a chance to work them with 100 watts, but
it was nice to hear them.

I DID work LZ1ANA just down the band during the 5R8X chaos, and Andy's
signal was 599 amazing into NC.  Snagged him on the first call.  Go figure.

One other observation - the ops on 160 sure seem disciplined.  It's like the
exact opposite of 80M SSB.  Nice to hear.
