Comments:

About five hours on Saturday with the goal of testing my re-built transmit
antenna and compare my new 3 

el Hi-Z receive vertical array to my short beverages.  What a surprise.  First
of all, 160 meters was quiet.  The first evening this year that 

I heard a quiet band.  Conditions were good with strong signals coast to coast.
  When a couple of Europeans called in to my run was 

pretty surprised.  Good, clear signals and loud enough to get through the East
Coast wall.

My transmit antenna held up. with no problems  Have been troubleshooting it for
over a year now.  No breaking down this contest.  Thanks to Mike N7MB for all
the help with it.  My HiZ receive array was consistently better at hearing the
domestic stations and into the Caribbean.  The short beverages were
consistently better with the Eu stations.
