Comments:

160m was pretty noisy (S6) in New Mexico, but must signals heard were quite
loud.  My apologies to the few whose callsigns I could copy but whose grid
squares remained elusive.

My antenna was a vee at 85 feet, and my hope is this is the last event for
which that antenna will be used.  I never finished last season's project to
shunt feed that tower for 160m before the 160 season closed.  Instead, I
converted the shunt feed to 80m, and it has worked superbly.  Currently, I am
shunt feeding the second tower for 80, and when that is finished (to quote the
movie "The Money Pit," two weeks!), I'll reshunt the first tower for 160m.  My
hope is that the 160 shunt fed tower will transmit better than it will receive
so that I can learn something about Beverages of the non-liquid sort.  All this
before the ARRL 160...

See you then!

73, dan k7ia
