K3/100, KPA500 ~ 600 watts and various dipoles and wires My plan was to 
do a 40 meter single band but the rate was so bad (and it was boring) 
early Saturday evening I decided to switch and do an all band effort. I 
had no QSO's on the others bands until I did this. The low bands 
(160-80-40) were fabulous! I had many good runs to EU despite using 
simple antennas. I had the most unbelievable experience on 160 meters on 
Saturday night. I went to 160 meters around 0430z and it was 
unbelievably good to EU. Stations were coming back to me just about 
every time I called them which is unusual for me. After I worked 
everything I heard I thought I would find a clear frequency and try a 
CQ. What happened was magical. I had tons of EU stations call me. Many 
of them were 100 watts and a couple were QRP. All with good signals. The 
statistics on N1MM Logger said I made 79 QSOs during that run. Almost 
all EU stations. I have been contesting for a very long time and 
operated at some big stations with very good 160 meter antennas and that 
has never happened before. This might not be a big deal if you live on 
the east coast but it was for me. It's pretty cool that I experienced 
this from home. Jeff KU8E
