Sheesh!

I generally like low power CW contests, but I'm not so sure about this one!  
Don't know if it's because it's 160, or just because it was a rotten weekend.

I just about couldn't stand the noise to the west on the first night...stations 
located to the west sounded better on the NE antenna, at least the ones that 
were loud enough to hear!

The noise was better the second night and was able to pick up a little more DX, 
but not much.  Mults heard and not worked included F, XE, NDak, and Mar.

I think next time I try this low power, it will be closer to the bottom of the 
cycle...
