Comments:

My best score yet in CQ 160 SSB: same QSO total as '03 but 14 instead of 8
countries.  Conditions good: low QRN.  EUs heard and 2 worked  first night, 
but none second night.  Worked MT, WY, and WA but no CA.  Seven (7) 
RI stations!  DE and DC, next door, much harder: one DE, one very weak 
DC station. Working D4B and CN2R was exciting.  My last two tries at this
contest, '01 and '03, were spoiled by terrible QRN: lightning or P static. I 
had about decided 160 was a CW band and SSB there was unnatural; got 
on just to give PVRC buddies some QSOs, but found to my surprise that 
I was actually having fun, so I stuck with it and got my best result yet, in 
spite of going to the local DX club meeting for several hours Sat. evening.
