Comments:

This was a real blast! My first 160m contest since returning from 35yrs of
inactivity in 2020. My present location has zoning limitations on tower(s)and
the area lacks trees of useful height to put up an effective 160m antenna. A
very good friend, WA1ABI(SK),once said to me any antenna is better than no
antenna, so I built a helically wound 25' vertical for this band. I had no idea
how this compromise antenna would do....I was pleasantly surprised. Condx here
the first day were very good and I was able to get in some decent runs and
worked about 150 DX stations...was smiling the whole nite!! Unfortunately condx
the second day were not so good and the whole day was a kind of "slog"
here. In the limit it was all good!!Thanks to everyone for the Q's and dealing
with my 'fat finger inefficiencies".
