Comments:

I knew before the test that if I lost it would be from a lack of a working 160m
antenna. It is not always fun being right. Although, even with 20 more mults I
may not have won after log checking. AND, there may be more scores out there. I
was motivated for this one only because of the competition. I used N1UR's 2007
totals as a goal and I met them, however, he did better!

Friday night I dug out the broken 160m tuning circuit for the shunt fed tower
(3ft of snow) and twisted the wires together. I called many stations but only
worked 1 European. I can hear fine with my beverage... I need to bring back my
Inv L.

Only heard N1UR when we were on 10m working the same guys. I was on 14.041 for
8 straight hours Saturday. I'm amazed how close our totals are. (most of them):
