Comments:

I was working on DXLog and wanted to see how some things were working so I got
on for the 160 contest.

Radio:  Elecraft K3
Antenna:  80 meter dipole

The SWR was very high and I did not want to damage the K3's transmatch so I
operated with 30 watts out.  When I started signals were extremely weak. 
Eventually I realized that during my testing the K3 had been set to use the RX
antenna input which has nothing connected.  When I fixed that signals were
pretty loud.

I worked the US as far west as 9-land and also a few Caribbean stations. 
Amazingly I worked one European - and he was in zone 16!

I really should put up a 160 antenna.
