N6RO    CQWW 160 SOHP

780 QSOs   54 MULTS   17 DX

SCORE: 170,897

FT1000mp, Alpha 76, wire 4 Square, bent vertical, 3 bevs, TRlog.

Stateside skip good both nights. No EU, SA, AF (wasted too much time on
EA8ZS).  Fair JA, good Asia Saturday morning.  100 Qs ahead of last year
until the rain started at 08Z Sunday morning and ended magically at 1555Z.
Made 40 Qs in the last 8 hours. Precip static was S9+20 on the TX antennas,
S7 on the beverages. The JA band was really hopping Sunday morning but
could only copy the S9 sigs - 40 fewer JAs than last year.  All three 160m
contests so far this season had the same pattern - good condx Friday, rain
and noise Saturday.  I should move back to the desert!  CU in the Sprints,
Ken N6RO.
