Comments:

This was my sixth ARRL 160 operation from PJ2T as a Single Op, and the worst
score so far (for me and for others operating from PJ2T). First night was just
OK (451 QSOs), second night not so much.

Second night, there was pronounced fast QSB. I would hear a partial callsign,
but when I went back for a fill, the station was GONE. Add that to the increased
QRN, and 'letter mining' was difficult and often unsuccessful in completing a
QSO. Best rate the second night was 20 QSO/hour! 

Thanks to Gene KB7Q and Geoff W0CG/PJ2DX for equipment setup and training.
