I was reading John's contest summary and need to apologize for QRMing him in
the DX Window.  We went multi-op with two ops and 100 watts to a 133 ft
vertical.  We ended up with about 1000 qso's and 84 mults.

This is the story :

My partner is a proficient high speed CW op who has never contested on 160
meters.  I'm napping during my break when he says, "I thought this was the
Gentlemen's Band,  I found a clear spot and everyone is calling me a lid!"

I check the frequency and it's in the dx window.  I accept responsibility
for this as I failed to properly instruct.

My apologies to John and to all.
