Comments:

I was not sure I was going to try and be active for this one. As some of you
know, I have no antenna for 160 and I had just returned from a trip to Mexico
for my nephew's wedding. Nonetheless, I got on for a few hours Saturday night
and early Sunday morning. If I disable my external tuner and back the radio
down to 5 watts, I can operate CW on 160 without the SWR folding back. So, QRP
it was with a true measured forward power of 3 watts. Still managed 41
sections, all S&P, unassisted.
