Comments:

First time I've not done SOSB/10 since 1999...and maybe the last time I'll do
SOSB/160 on SSB!  Conditions seemed fair but I could never run well so my DX
QSO's were about 99% S&P.  I kept expecting to see a sunrise peak but in fact
most DX signals seemed to go down as their sunrise approached.

I did hear several Asian stations but C4M could never hear me, YM0T was
underneath VY2PA's backwash and 5B/AJ2O (M/S) was only answering stations even
though he had a nice signal. 

Thanks to all for hearing me through the QRN.  After the contest, it sure was
nice to hear good clean CW on 160 again!
