Comments:

I was determined to have a good go at this one.
Original plans to operate from the contest QTH with 4 Square and multiple RX
Beverages were destroyed due to weather. Hard ice on the ground and strong winds
meant i couldnt get what i wanted.

So i operated from home with what can be said a real makeshift antenna. A
Marconi T which wasnt really a T shape.. more like and L on its side.
I didnt really expect it to perform as it was only at a maximum 25 feet up.
But boy was i wrong.
QRP is tough on 160 in any case, but after 3 hours i had beaten the current GM
QRP record and had just under 200 Q's with 35 DXCC and 2 NA in the log.
I kept going till around 0630z and decided that was enough for the night. went
to bed and slept like a baby.

Second day the band took a long while to open with me and it was a struggle to
get Q's in the log.
only managed to get 56 in before calling it quits at 0040z..

Lots of fun and great to catch many friends on 160.

I make sincere apologies to anyone who called me while i was attempting to run
and i didnt respond. I had a consistent s8 noise level which did rise further
into the night for some strange reason.

Thanks everyone for the Q's and good luck.

See you in the next one
