Hi, all.

I just wanted everyone to know that, apparently, my 160 meter sloper is 
working reasonably well.

Last night, in about 5 and a half hours, I made 135 contacts in the 160 
meter CW contest, and plan to do much more operating this evening and 
tonight.

My contacts covered the midwest and east coast.  I got as far south as 
Northern Florida, and as far west as Nebraska and Colorado.  Haven't worked 
the west coast or any DX yet, but maybe that will happen tonight.

I wonder if anyone else is doing the contest?

If you have 160 meter capability, conditions seem pretty good in the evening 
and night-time hours.
