W8RUSINGLE-OP LOWLost my 160m antenna in an ice storm so tried radiating RF with my 80m dipole. As the adage goes, a compromise antenna beats *no* antenna every time. Thanks for the QSOs and 73! -Ron (W8RU).
WA2VYAASSISTED LOWI saw a spot for KH6AQ and decided to try to work him, despite having a 160m inverted vee antenna has a high SWR and running low power with a tuner. After working him, I decided to work more stations so he would not be a unique. During the QSO wi 73, Fran
WA4ZKOSINGLE-OP LOWOnly had a few hours to op, but fun to see what 100w to a wire can do on 160m. 73
WB6JJJSINGLE-OP HIGHLess than an hour to play radio this evening. Conditions seemed just fair, but I had an S7 noise level here. Still fun. Thanks for the QSOs. Bill
WB8WUASINGLE-OP LOWI had fun successfully getting QSO's into FL, ME, and MO, which were good distant accomplishments for me on the 160 Meter phone-mode band, considering using my poor (short and low) dipole wire antenna. Unfortunately, I spent a lack of time on this contest

WD8DSBSINGLE-OP LOWOnly operate CW contests with the exception of the CQ160 SSB contest as 160 meters is my favorite band. Only operated part time both nights so I could spend time with the family. Conditions were poor and very few signals heard from the West Coast 73, Don
WG9LSINGLE-OP LOWElecraft K4 - 100W Low Dipole
WO2TASSISTED HIGHInverted L on city lot.
WO3XSINGLE-OP LOWI usually operate S&P but the bandwidth of my antenna for this band is narrow so I may try Run later if I can find a good spot.
