Antenna:  Inductively loaded 65 foot sloper below 5 el 10m yagi

I wasn't planning to be active as we had a road trip planned for Saturday and
Sunday.  Friday morning I decided to raise my 5 el 10 meter yagi in anticipation
of the ARRL 10M Contest.  In a weak moment I hooked up my 160 sloper below the
yagi and raised the antenna to 60 feet.  I started listening on 160 at 21z and
there were no signals although the SWR was good.  I came back at 22:30z and the
band was full of signals.  Amazingly I was able to work the east coast while it
was still bright out here.  I played around for about 3 1/2 hours and pulled the
switch.  I only worked one ORG station during that time.  I woke up about 3 am
Sat AM and decided to put in an hour before we hit the road.  I felt conditions
were pretty good compared with other years.  W1 is always a difficult path from
the west but was easy to work.  I only missed RI, NNY, and SNJ (I missed W2GD). 
I heard KH6AQ who was answering CQ's but not mine.  73, Kurt W6PH
