Paul, N0AH, got his feet wet in 160M contesting as guest op at the W0AH
station.
He did a FB job, but had plenty of QRN both nights which made hearing the east
coast and DX a challenge.  
Station consists of 90' top loaded, shunt fed vertical plus a NE and a SE
beverage.
Rig: FT-1000 at 150 watts plus W2IHY Voice Keyer.
It was really neat for me to see a newbies excitement working DX with 150
watts! Paul worked 49 states, missing Delaware.  Also didn't hear DC.  He
worked 7 Canadian provinces.   Worked KH6, KL7, KP4, P4, PJ9, TG, TI, V4, and
XE.  Paul heard C6 first night only.  Don't think he heard any other DX.  I
didn't listen, but from the comments Paul overheard, it was pretty noisy in
other areas also.
Hope everyone had fun!
