Comments:

Antenna: a wire doublet 21 m (70 ft) long and 6 m (20 feet) high.

With such a short and low antenna, I wasn't planning to participate in this
contest.  I turned the radio on to see what I could hear.  I heard a friend
so I grabbed the paddle and gave him a Q.  Then I heard another friend, so
I gave him a Q and turned on the computer to log both Q's.  Then I wondered
who'd be able to hear _me_, so I turned on the amp.  Within 23 minutes, I'd
worked KH6.  I doubted that I could do any better, so I QRT'd.

Wow.  I never imagined that 160 m could be so good.
