Comments:

My first SSB 160 from my Maine QTH.  I quickly learned that my TS-590S
cannot load my simple trapped dipole above ~1880 KHz.  Guess I need to 
come up with some impedance matching thingy -- a very technical term.  I
hadn't done much 160 SSB before and it's fine for CW and FT8.

Friday night started well, if mostly local.  With my little pistol station
it's all S&P, but I did hit a 45 rate for a brief moment.

I woke up at 5:30 Saturday morning and did well for a hour.  Heard Dennis,
HQ9X, but no copy.  He had a good, clear signal.  Saturday evening & night
was mostly dupes.  Got a few more.  Busy Sunday so that was it.

Two-timing it with the NAQP RTTY didn't help.  And as usual, I could hear 
a lot more than heard me. 

Rig: TS-590S
Antenna: 160/80 HB trapped dipole at about 9M.
         (Part of my 160/80/30/20/10 fan dipole)
