CT LOGGING

NOTES: Had to work during the days, so decided to try a 
160 single band LP effort. I have been working with 160 
antennas on the small lot, and ended up going with the Skyloop
scheme from the ARRL antenna handbook(I had already been using
it on 80). Went from sporadic stateside contacts to 13 new 
countries with LP, even worked 4 of them QRP! Had a great time
learning a new band. I called anyone I could hear, sri for the
0 point contacts, but I wanted to get a good idea of where the 
thing was talking. 
See you in the tests!
