Comments:

With my low and bent wire "dipole" and after playing 
**beat-head-on-wall** in the ARRL 160, I decided my
goal here was to be casual, have fun, and work on my CW.

I have been playing with 160 for six years and I am starting
to see the counter-effects of an active sun.  Conditions were
not great, I heard no EU, did have two Caribbean, but nothing
west of the Mississippi.  Low power doesn't help either: about
1/3rd of the stations I copied did not hear me.

My raw score of 112 becomes 168 with the 1.5 LP multiplier.
History suggests that the uplift from LP and QRP stations will
more than offset my mistakes and I will end up with a score
of from 180-220.
