Hi Howard,

Yes, I did but not a real intensive effort.  From Western Washington I
worked all district 7 sections, all but one California section, Minnesota,
Iowa, New Mexico, South Dakota, South Texas, all the 9 district sections,
Michigan, New Hampshire, Vermont, Northern New Jersey, Western New York,
Maryland/DC, Bc, Saskatuan and Hawaii that I remember.  I didn't hear much
from the far south this year except for one Alabama station which didn't
seem able to hear me.

I'm not too happy with my station's performance though.  I need to get my
antenna up higher or at least more vertical section to it.  I'm using a
coaxial inverted L here.  I've certainly seen it better in the past though.

Howard, what's your call?  I wonder if I worked you.

Take care and very 73.
Kevin, K7RX

Subject: 160 meter contest


Did anybody run the 160 meter cw contest last weekend?
I had a blast, worked 40 states, maybe 200 contacts.  I didn't hear or work
California, but did work Washington Oregon, and Arizona.
Not to bad from Milwaukee, with a 200 ft inverted vee, 50 feet at the
highest point.
I used an omni d and the 500 filter was narrow enough.
Also fired up the c-line when things got really tight.
