It was poor at best.  never heard anything beyond 2000-2200 miles, 
except the K7 fellow in CE.  I worked a few Caribbean stations running 
without the amp;  Just not worth the effort.

At the beginning of the season I had great hopes of finally making DXCC 
on 160 this season as I just need 5 or 6, but with condx like they have 
been, I am having serious doubts.  It is interesting to note that stuff 
out in the Pacific is usually stronger than the Caribbean.
