Topband: CQ WW CW 160m observations

[Gary Smith]

Hi Trevor,

I'm in Connecticut. I didn't compete much, 
I was too busy otherwise this weekend. I 
ran full power to give out some Q's on 
160. 

I heard many more EU than I could get to 
hear me. Some stations I called maybe 20 
times and they either didn't reply to me 
or went to another call. Odd, I usually 
make nearly all the EU contacts I hear in 
a contest. 

73,

Gary
