Thanks to all who called in. Could not operate until Sat evening, which proved
to be lucky considering all the reports I'm reading of how bad the band was on
Friday night. Seemed to run out of US stations to work around 0800GMT. Seemed
to be a lot more US activity in ARRL 160 back in Dec. Missed ND, AK, HI, and
DC, and VE4, VE8. Many EU stations were close to a true S5-7 and a few big guns
S9 on the L and easy copy.

Highlights:
Almost 90 10-point EU stations answered my CQ! Felt like a "big gun".
Worked HK0NA in the contest, very nice of them to take the time to operate it.

CU in 160SSB in a couple weeks!
