[NCC] ARRL 160 this weekend

[Eric NO3M]

Hey Tim

Decided to play around in CQWW on 160M to make sure hardware was ready 
for this weekend.  Ended up w/ 72 DXCC and 19 zones, didn't stay up for 
SR, so prob missed some VK / JAs.  Mostly following spots and trying to 
snag some new ones, which didn't happen until after the contest!  Three 
new ones in the last 3 days for #224 topband.  Conditions are still 
hovering around average or slightly below, but some nice openings the 
last few days (ZS4TX was booming tonight).

Acom 2S1 commutator died, so using a Top Ten A/B switch driven by PTT 
lines to steer which radio is connected to amp/antenna.  I'll be running 
the usual SO2R-3RX if nothing breaks w/ an additional SDR receiver for 
wideband waterfall to keep an eye on any sudden pileup activity... 
usually a mult!

GL Phil, Tim, and the rest of the NCC gang.
