[SECC] CQ 160 Results

[AE4Y]

Once again I loaded up the trusty 80 meter dipole and entered the fray 
in this weekend's 160 meter contest.  I always thought that trying to 
use an 80 meter dipole on 160 was about like trying to load up a piece 
of spaghetti, but I was amazed at what I was able to work during the 
ARRL 160 last month and again this weekend.

I had to tweak the tuner frequently and reduce power to 75 watts to keep 
all of the stray RF from setting off my home's security system, but I 
managed to work the west coast a couple of times and even bagged VP2E 
for a little DX.

Maybe the trick was all of the ice on the antenna which makes it look 
like a giant "U", almost touching the ground in the center!
