Comments:

Once again in the ARRL 160 Contest the State of Maine eluded me or I would have
managed WAS. Oh well, wait til next year.

Non-optimal band conditions for both nights with brief fantastic propagation
followed by extensive dismal propagation. The northeastern tier of sections
(VO,VE1,VE2,ME,RI,CT,VT, etc) was not heard at all during the first night.
Still, it was sort of fun -- some of the time. The K9AY double loops worked
excellently for RX. I heard a lot of courteous operating including checking to
see if frequencies were in use. The propagation changes made it seem to some, I
am sure, that people had just jumped on 'their' frquency and started CQing. In
fact both stations had been there and suddenly they heard each other when the
propagation improved.

Tod, K0TO
