Comments:

Just giving out points, and testing new inverted L for 160. It worked extremely
well although only had time to connect two 1/4wave radials before the contest.
The feed side of the L runs up 50ft, and the horizontal part slopes upward
slightly to a tree at about 65ft. 
First time on 160 using the 756 Pro III w/Inrad roofing filter (much easier to
copy dx between the strong sigs than with the unmodified Pro II used
previously).
Ran AL811H amp - typically 500W out. Called CQ Sat night and actually had a
number of DX stations reply - LY, MD0, M, DR, and others.

When will the sponsors add SOA so single ops don't have to enter as MS? This is
ridiculous to place so many obviously non-MS ops in the MS category with the
competitive MS stations.

73 and thanks to all for the QSOS!
Darrell AB2E
