Comments:

Only had a limited time to work this contest. Made one contact around 0020z,
then on for a couple of hours 0100-0300z. Then a half hour starting at 1025z.
That was all I had time for. Did not work the second night at all.

Conditions did not seem great. Very noisy Friday night. A surprising number of
stations had great difficulty hearing me. Heck, they had difficulty hearing
anyone. I was happy to hand out a few Qs to those who could. Saturday morning
was much quieter, many stations easy to work.

Saturday, I spent 17 hours driving to / from and officiating a Taekwondo
tournament, so too pooped to operate any Saturday night. 

Beginning to wonder if my antenna is radiating at all. ZF2AM and C6ANA only DX
worked, and they were both relatively easy. 

I have eight states I still have not confirmed on 160m Phone. Heard ND, but he
was not able to hear me. Maybe next time.
