Comments:

What a fun contest. Really opened to Europe Friday night/ Saturday morning to
make it interesting. Had to move well up the band, above 1855 to find a good
clear spot. Thanks to all the stations who actually ventured up that high! A
personal best score for me and first time I've worked all 50 states (thanks
KL7RA!!). Nebraska was last state worked. 

I continued to be impressed with the Orion. A very quiet receiver that does well
in a crowded band. Even with that it was difficult to find a clear spot to
run....even up at 1855+. Wish we had more of these 160 contests!  

Rest of station: 
Inverted L with about 55' vertical
AL1500
5 beverages (well 3 with 2 being switchable in direction). Had just put up a
closely spaced parallel beverage to Europe and that worked well.
