worked.

Comments:

Conditions were unremarkable.  But here and there a gem . first time ever to
work FM5CD - a major challenge for low power from W Coast. Also W1SJ in Vt,
usually difficult on LP.  And KV4FZ on first call.  But no joy on CE1/K7CA who
is usually easy.

Many, many JA's heard calling W. coast stations who couldn't hear them.  One JA
worked . .  easy on first call Sat morning -- JA's were still good copy at 0810
local time, 50 mins after sunrise.  Ten percent of Q's were in FN/FM.  Not a
whisper from Eu. 

Just prior to start, located bad coax connection; it had disconnected the
radial field in ARRL 160m -- but I now have a good understanding of the
importance of radials.  Problem was evident because of the 1.05:1 SWR .  vs.
correct 1.3-1.5:1.
