Comments:

First of all, huge thanks to Ken for letting me hog the station for this one,
160 being his favorite band. The idea was to work on my 160 WAS and DXCC
numbers a bit, as well as a fairly serious effort in the contest. Mission
accomplished, I think!

Condx very good domestically the first night - strong signals from all parts of
the US. By the end of the first night, I had all states except SD, OK and LA(!).
Not much EU the first night. Things reversed a bit the second night... domestic
signals seemed down a bit, but there was a magical opening to EU. They weren't
very strong, but they were workable. More magic around sunrise, when several
nice Asian mults became workable. I did work a bunch of OK's the second night,
and a couple of LA's and SD's to complete WAS. Glad to make 1000 Qs (although
it won't survive the log check) - little run of W's on east coast sunrise
helped with that.
