Antenna: Inverted-L at 60 feet, 16 radials all less than 140 feet facing SE

I only operated 3 hours the first night. I intended to operate the second 
night, but I called my neighbors about something else and found out that I had 
blown their phone system away. It rang, woke them up, etc. They finally 
disconnected all their phones and went back to sleep. They didn't call me to 
complain though.
I tried the K-COM 160 meter filter on their phones (they already had the 
80m-10m
filters installed on all phones), but their *digital* house phone system 
apparently uses signaling in the notch of the 160M filter, so they just didn't 
work at all with the 160M filter installed. Oh well. I decided not to operate 
the second night and save any remaining the goodwill for the ARRL DX next 
weekend. :-)
