This was absolute blast for me..  Very first 160 anything, after all these years???    Trying to use tuner with 80/40 trap diplole was ok, but swr and strange smell coming from my MP1000 limited my time.  But I am driven now to come up some kind of antenna for 160..   Didn't hear much DX, but did work one CN.  East coast, Canada, Indiana, Ilinois, Mi, WV, VA, CT, NY, ME, DE, plus bunch more.  Pretty directional to the North, East, and South, with limited action to the West..  

All in all, it was fun... 

All reports sent were 59(9), unless otherwise noted.
