[NCC] ARRL 160

[N3RA]

Well.  First time on the air in quite some a while.  Sure was nice to be back on and make a few Q's!!

I put up a 160m inverted V with the center at 50 to 60 feet last week.  It was one I bought and had laying around for many years.  Fed with RG8x which is not ideal as a multi band antenna but at least it got me on the air a bit. I may change it to open wire at some point.  I have a Butternut HF9V new in the box that I will be use as the next project.  Need a few items to be able to do that so better get on the phone with DXE soon! 

Had to log and send by hand since I didn't have any logging software handy.   Working on getting it typed in so I can submit.   The IC 765 amazingly worked after sitting on a table in the basement for a long time.  

Lots of things to  work on to get it better arranged and organized.  Need to find the headset and adapter cable at some point too.  :-)

Got on quite late Saturday and spent about 1 1/2 hours working my way up the band.  Even managed to run guys for 5 or 10 minutes.    Did not realize until I finished that Ontario was now 4 sections.  I gotta get out more.  Yeesh. 

Bottom line:

Q's: 110
Sec: 46
DX: 4 (managed to work EI at least) 
Score:  11,400.  Manually calculated for the moment. 

Great to work everyone and look forward to a few q's this weekend as well.
