Comments:

Rig: IC-7200 at 50 to 100w
Ant: Multi-band vertical

No dedicated 160m antenna. I used my regular all band vertical (+ extra
loading), which is rather small for the band; I could not get good match on some
frequencies, had to call some stations at reduced power. It mostly worked but
getting to the other coast was not easy. Hawaii stations on the other hand were
very easy to work from here, even that they are about at the same or grater
distance.

The band conditions were fine but no distant DX heard this time. A lot of QSB
during some QSOs. A couple of loud W6 stations could not get my callsign or did
not hear me at all for some reason.  

Thanks,

Sergey
