This was our club's fourth attempt at CQ160 SSB with this portable setup.
Everything worked as expected, there were no thunderstorms to shut us down, and
line noise wasn't a problem.

Conditions didn't seem so good though, especially the second night with the
high K index. Run rates were never very high and really dropped through the
floor during the overnight hours. DX signals weren't strong like in the CW part
or in ARRL DX last weekend. Mults from north of the border were few and far
between -- we only worked NB ON MB AB BC. We had no problem working all of the
CONUS mults, but nothing from AK or HI or anything else around the Pacific.

Thanks for the Qs! 73 de WQ5L
