Comments:

Limited time this year  -  wanted to make a few points for the club. Condx
seemed pretty poor, especially for DX.   Hadn't been on 160M much this season,
and RX antennas needed fixing  -  and no time to repair before contest.   Got
them fixed on Saturday afternoon.   My trusty Inverted "L" with 3
elevated radials which worked well last season wasn't cutting the mustard this
year.  Felt weak - lots of guys CQing in my face.   Not sure what is going on,
but it is a temporary antenna till the "real" 160M antenna goes up
some day.  Also, my local skimmer kept cratering  -  must be getting some RF in
from somewhere as I've never had that problem. 

Missed VO VY1/VE8 and KP4.   Heard 3 PR stations calling folks, but never found
them CQing and couldn't get them to answer my CQ's.   DX worked:  ZF V3 CO XE
C6.  Never found any EU the times I was on, and didn't wake up for JA/Pacific.

Thanks to all for the QSO's

73,  Gator
