Comments:

I wanted to see what I could work on the low bands. I was very 
disappointed with 80m.

Either conditions were poor or my 1/4 wave sloper was't doing the job. I 
had much better

luck on 40m with a rotating dipole at 90 feet. I heard a lot from the 
Caribbean on 160m

but almost nothing from Europe. My 160m inverted "L" seemed to get out 
pretty well.

Also, it was all S & P due to my improving but limited CW skills.

I could have worked lots more on 15 and 20 if I hadn't stayed up so late 
on 40m and 160m.
