Soapbox:

I think I may have been bitten by the 160 bug.  Didn't have a lot of
time to operate...and like a lot of other folks have noted...conditions
were unusual to say the least.  I struggled to work loud stations...
W5WMU for the LA mult was a 10 minute project...and Pat is usually
first or second on any other band.  Just on a whim, called UA2FW and
KH6CC and they came back first call...and I couldn't have been more
surprised to work those guys.

However, the DX Gods do manage to always find a way to keep one humble:
I did miss KL7RA who was loud at local sunrise here...but faded fairly
quickly.

Great to work N8TR, W8CAR, K8BL and PJ2T.

So Summer, 2011 will bring an permanent inverted L for 160 DX and maybe a
temporary inverted vee for stateside to the ND8L QTH.
