Hi guys, I'm back from Colorful Colorado and ready to rock'n'roll on 160 this
weekend.

A couple suggestions:

1.  This is the most popular international 160 contest -- if conditions are
"fair" or better, there will be good DX to be worked.
2.  One intercontinental DX QSO is worth 5 US QSOs, so it's usually worth
hanging around a pileup to get the points and the multiplier.
3.  Call CQ a lot.  First, this contest draws a LOT of casual participation.
4.  Call CQ a lot, Part II -- Plenty of DX will be operating S&P. Many DX "big
guns" combine S&P with CQing, so don't be surprised to be called by a DX
station, even when there is little activity in the "DX window."
4.  Don't worry about being low power or "antenna challenged." There will be a
lot of stations on, (including DX) who are able to hear you and WANT your QSO.
