After having fun in my first CW contest (CQWW) I thought the
160 contest should be another fun challenge.  I don't have a 
160 antenna -- see above -- but that just adds to the challenge!

Using the “C&P” approach: (Click on the band map and Pounce on the 
F4 key) I was able to be somewhat effective. Thanks to all who 
heard my small signal!
