Comments:  Had a ball!  Worked 10 new countries.  Worked
           everything I could hear (eventually).  Love this
           antenna which I put up in October and have worked
           45 new countries since (am new to 160!).  Wish I
           had the room to install some better rcvg antennas.
           Am considering a 17m loop w/preamp which I saw on
           the Web. Never heard much DX from the West other than
           KH6.  Only missed MT & ND.  Didn't wrk any VE4/5/6.
           Also, never hrd KL7/VO1/VO2.
