Comments:

Life is too short for spending an evening scraping around trying to find new
guys to work.  So since CQ thankfully doesn't have a "one call for the contest"
rule as does ARRL, I started over the second day with the W3USA club call.

My wife was out of town for the weekend, so I had no iterruptions for either
effort. Therefore I was able to spend far more time this weekend than in any
previous CQ 160.

Good conditions, good runs. The initial packet pileup made me feel like a rare
DX station for a few minutes. 

Compared with my first night effort as K8MR, I estimate that 80-90% of the guys
I worked from W3USA I also worked from K8MR. I missed DC and PEI which I worked
the first night, but got ND, SD, and NB which I had missed as K8MR.

One of these days I'll have to get a receive antenna so that I will not be the
alligator that I likely was.
