Comments:

This is only my second semi-serious effort in this contest.  I'm getting much
better at the 2nd radio, that's for sure!  

I built an 80-meter dipole at 60 feet with a switch box to short the (open
wire) feeder on 160.  I never got the 160 portion tuned-up.  So, at 0330 UT, I
climbed up on the roof to cobble an old MFJ tuner into place.  Fortunately, I
left my old 80-meter dipole up at 25 feet; so, I could still operate there.  I
had S9+10 noise on 160.  I could only hear with the 30 dB attenuator setting! 
After getting the antenna tuned-up, it's RX antenna time...

Thanks for the Q's!

73,
