Comments:

Not easy with an HF6VX (with 160m add-on).  Inadequate radial system in the
garden meant the worms, at least, had a comfortable two nights.  Made
countless
trips outside through the night to adjust the loading coil to move resonance
up
or down 10K at a time.  Hope none of my neighbours saw me.  It's hard enough
explaining why I'm changing/moving antennas/masts under normal
circumstances,
but at 4am....hmmm!

Got used to the more distant EU's not hearing me (UA, LZ, YO etc) and having
to
do many repeats to those closer in, who could.  Heard zilcho from NA, except
W4MYA, who of course, did'nt hear me.

Despite all the above comments, I did actually enjoy CQ160, and was pleased
to
even get QRV on 160m from my so called "suburban plot".  And, for a brief
period
at least, my "worm BBQ" station did have an EU pile up - It did'nt last
though
:-(

Very little heard from the UK, though MD4K and M0C seemed to be going at a
fair rate of knots.

Here's to the next CQ160 CW.  Hopefully I can add a few more (LONG) radials
by
then.

John, MM0CCC.
