Comments:

This was a kinda-sorta portable Contest-Pedition.  My antenna was one of four
self-supporting 165 foot flagpole towers at a dark (off-the-air) AM Radio
Station, connected via 350 feet of coax also strung over the driveway to a
TS-480 in an upstairs room at the Best Western Seacliff Inn next door. 

I'll post more details and a URL for photos to the CQ-CONTEST Reflector when I
get back home tomorrow (in case those with CC&R challenged 160m antennas
locations might want to try something similiar). 

Running LP was mostly a slugfest, and doubtful I actually had more than 50
watts to the antenna for a number of reasons.  Not sure about the total points
in TR4W, but the CQ-Meter said 1,766 {SIGH}.

Best DX was ZL3IX, CE1/K7CA, UA0CA, FO8RZ & some JA's.  Real bad rain static
put a damper on things a bit for a while.  

73, HNY & Tnx for all the Q's & Grids...
