Comments:

This operation was to test the new TX antenna arrays for 160 M and 75/80 M.  I
do not have antennas for the higher frequency bands.

I had previously operated only one time as a single op (40 M single band) in
this contest and I did not have a good feeling of what to expect.

I operated a bit over 3 hours on 75 Meters and then 2 hours on 160 Meters.

It was a surprise to me to call literally multiple dozens of loud and clear
stations on 75 Meters and not even receive a '?'.  It made me wonder how these
stations do any good at all when running HIGH POWER.  Running was an equally
poor endeavor.

The conditions on 160 M were, IMHO, fair, but better than 75 Meters.

I hope conditions are better for the CQ 160 CW this next weekend.

73, and thanks for the Q's.

Milt, N5IA, operator of N7GP
