Hi, all.

Well, I'm a bit sleep deprived here, but had a blast in the Stu Perry 
160-meter CW contest yesterday and early today.

All I can say is that I sure love 160 meters in the winter-time!

I haven't thoroughly  reviewed my log yet, but in general, I made 218 QSO's 
in approximately 11 hours of operating.

Some interesting results were that I worked most of the mid west and east 
coast states.  I'm not totally familiar with the ins and outs of grid 
squares, but I believe I worked most of the southern states too.  I worked a 
few Canadian provinces, and got as far west as New Mexico.  I don't think I 
worked California, or any of the west coast states, though.  I did work a 
few six's, but their grid squares didn't look like those you see for 
California.

Anyway, it was a real blast, and I'd encourage anyone to get on 160 if they 
can while we still have the good band conditions in the winter months.
