[SECC] Claimed Score CQWW 160 M SSB K4BAI

[John Laney]

Hello all:

Below is my report to 3830 on the CQ 160 M SSB Contest last weekend. 
Even with no real antenna for that band (feeding the center conductor of 
my 80 meter inverted vee through an antenna tuner as if it were an end 
fed wire), it was fun.  Good to hear a lot of activity.  I heard some 
very loud European stations Friday night (not Saturday), but didn't work 
any.  The two that I recall best were HG1S and GI3OQR.  I also heard at 
least two YV stations, VP9GE, and one or two other Caribbean or Central 
American stations (a TG I now remember) that I didn't get through to.

I took my wife out to dinner about the time the contest started on 
Friday night when she returned from a historical society trip to 
Washington and Madison, GA in connection with her job.  Saturday night, 
we went to the theatre.  So, I lost a lot of "prime time" operating.  I 
was able to work throughout the US mainly plus VY2, VE3, VE5.  I don't 
recall working anyone in DC, NM, ID, UT, NV, SD, ND.  I must have worked 
some of those though, or my W/VE mult wouldn't have been as high as it was.

DX worked:  C6, XE, KP2 (2), VP5, V4, KP4, FM, HI, P4 (2).

Here are the calls I find in the log from AL, GA, and SC:

AL:  K4WI, KY5R, W4RYW (Auburn), W4JSI (near Huntsville), N4IXT (Bham), 
and W4JVY.

GA:  W1IBQ, WA4TII, N4NX, N4PN, N4GG, W4TED, KM4QQ, K4MOG, WO4DX 
(Amicola Falls State Park, near Dawsonville).

SC:  WA4MYO, K4CNW, W4UNP.

Thanks for all the QSOs.

73,

John, K4BAI.
