ICOM IC-7410, AL-80B Amplifier 500 Watts output.
160m Inverted Vee (apex up 5m);

Enjoyed the contest.  Purposely started late both nights, after the activity
thinned out, so I had a chance to be heard with my modest antenna.  That worked
well on the first night, but not on the second night when there were long
periods when I could not be heard, either CQing or answering the calls of
others.

Managed to work all USA multipliers, except for NE and DC, 6 Canadian mults,
including VO2, and 16 DX multipliers, in all 6 continents.

Thanks to everyone who dug me out of the QRN, QSB and QRM.

CU next time.  73, Frank, WA2VYA
