Comments:

My 1st real CW contest effort - look ma, no computer help in decoding the CW
(and the computer made mistakes that the stuff between the ears would catch and
correct). Only 3 qso's. Had to listen to each call numerous times to get it
before I dared to call. I heard and copied quite a few calls / exchanges that
I'm 99 pct certain I got right. Slowly but sure the training wheels come off.

Thanks to the 3 stations that heard my so-called signal; 2 very local and one
DX (OK, BC from OR is debatable DX from a distance point) I used my  57 foot
random wire not tuned to 160M - hence the qrp to try to keep the finals in the
7600 happy.

Kinda cool to have 160M as my first real CW contest.
