Comments:

CQ160CW is one of my favorite contests, although the noise level at my QTH has
dulled the fun a bit over time.  However, it's all about propagation.  This time
around there was good activity but I couldn’t hear a lot of DX and around half
the stations that I worked were just above  noise level on my receive antennas. 
It was great to be called by 2 DL stations, but they were tough to pull 
out of the noise.  Two strong Eu stations were ED8W and HB7X -- worked
the former and heard him on both nights.  Heard HB7X several times on 
the second night but he was not calling CQ.  Worked just 5 JA stations.  
This compares to 2006 when I worked 73 JA and 2009 when I worked 43 Eu 
stations. Wonder how much of the issue is propagation versus increasing
noise level.

There were stations calling several times that I could not pull out.  
Sorry about that, thanks for trying, and thanks to everyone else for 
the QSOs.
