Comments:

Rig : 
  Elecraft K3, P3, KPA500 (500W) and AL-1500 (1500W)
  I used both amplifiers at different times and both worked well.

Antennas : 
  A design by W3ZZ. It is an inverted-L that loads the tower (85' with mast)
and uses the lower guy wires as part of the "ground plane". I have a 3-element
Hi-Z receive antenna under construction but it is not yet operational. 

Soapbox : 
  This was my first 160 meter contest and was a casual effort, S&P only. There
was little DX and west coast stations were few but it was fun anyway.
