Comments:

I entered this test Single-Op Assisted, Single Band 160 Meters mainly
as a warm-up for the ARRL 160 test next week.  My main goals were to
stay up all night and to make more points than last year.

Regarding the first goal, I failed.  By the end of the European
opening each night, I was unable to maintain momentum, even after a 2
hour nap.  Both nights, I got up at 0930Z and checked the packet
cluster to see what I missed, and then went back to sleep.  I've never
been an all night person.

I suppose I could multi-op, but K8ND keeps running off to the
Caribbean, and one can't enter as a multi-op in a single-band
category.

Regarding the second goal, I succeeded.  About 33% more Qs and about
the same number of multipliers makes a bigger score.

I operated for the first 20 minutes with the wrong zone programmed in
my exchange message.  I manually corrected the Cabrillo log to reflect
the error.  Only 4 contacts were affected.

See everyone in the ARRL 160.
