Comments:

My second CQ160CW from my Maine QTH.  Versus last year:
	Same rig + same antenna + 30% more time = 30% less score!
	(I think the same brain too, not sure....)
	Although more Qs, less countries and 10 pointers.

It seemed that there were more hams calling on top of others. I
could also hear a lot more than heard me -- sort of backward.
100w to a low dipole just doesn't hack it.

Some random observations:
	* More than normal bad fists
	* Many alligators
	* Lots of key clicks
	* Amazing how many hams don't listen long enough after
	  calling, and just keep calling!  (Both running and S&P)
	* Does a lack of sunspots force hams to 160 to get their
	  contest juices flowing?

I did pick up three more countries for DXCC, but none of the
last three states I need (HI, AK, NV) for WAS on 160 in ME.

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