[CQ-Contest] QRP cheating

[KU7Y]

During a 2 year period I did 6 contests on 160m, 2 ARRL, 2 Stew Perry and 2
CQ 160m.

Each contest I heard MS and the only NE state I needed but never could get
so much as a ? from any of them!

That was from Washoe Valley, NV using an inverted Vee at 70'.

Maybe this location will be kinder to me!  :-)

OK, back in my hole,
