Topband: Jan 2006 CQ WW 160 Contest

[Dick and Adele Bingham]

Greetings from northern central Washington

Well the contest is over and, for me,  it was a good one. 
Finally, I was able to work JA's after trying hard all season. 
80W didn't cut it so I bumped the power up to 100-plus 
from the 756PRO and worked JA5DQH and JH4UYB. 

On Sunday at 1616, HS0ZDJ was coming in at RST-439
but I didn't enter the fray knowing folks with  KW's were
having a hard time.

Working VY2ZM - PEI - was at treat and KV4FZ 
managed to not hear my many calls even though he was
very readable here for hours. I guess that's why we all
enjoy 160-Meters - the challenges that low-power and
modest antennas presents. 

Thanks to _all_ of you folks back on the East-coast and 
those out in the Pacific with good ears!

73 - Dick - w7wkr CN98pi
