Topband: 160m today in DL

[David Olean]

Hello Andy,

I am sorry that I missed you, but I was busy with a 5 watt QRP 160 meter 
operating event last night.  I was way down on about 1.810 looking for 
weak 5 watt signals. I called "CQ FOX"and was answered by John G3PQA! I 
had to look at my RF output settings again to make sure I was really 
running 5 watts. When I switched to my Europe beverage, he was very loud 
and was hearing me very well, even with my QRP! I know that we have had 
some great QRP QSOs also, but they do not happen every day!  Yesterday 
was a good night for 160!

I closed up my VHF shack on the hill yesterday. It is difficult to use 
in winter with cold & snow. So now I have more time to spend on 160 meters!
