Comments:

I decided to operate QRP at the last minute, and the goal was to work 100 q's or
at least 1k points for the little time I had to spend this weekend on the
contest. 

It was all S&P to the strong stations at first, then when I had swept the band
twice, I would call CQ for about 10 minutes, then back to S&P. It is always
fascinating to run QRP on 160m. After working 10 over S9 signals and struggling
to get the exchange to them, you hear a S-0 station calling CQ, you think there
is no way they will ever hear you but you give them a call anyway,,, BOOM they
copy you the first call and the exchange is only sent once, TU DE...... You
never know on this band!

I ran 5watts into a 57' shunt fed tower from an Omni6+, had 2 beverages out but
primarily used the TX antenna this time thanks to a very quiet band this year.

Thanks for the contacts,
N5OE
