Steve:
Well, like you, I was rather limited in time for the ARRL 160 meter CW
contest, but got 206 qsos in the log in about 7 hours of operating.
Was looking for you both last night and Friday night, but didn't find you.
Did not hear Howard either.
Did mostly S and P, but a couple hours of CQing as well.
To my surprise, I think the Cobra actually worked a little better on 160
than my W8AMZ half sloper that is up a little higher, but the final verdict
is still out on that yet.
Now, it's onto the 10-meter contest this coming week-end. Sure hope the
band is open.

Howard,
Tnx for the call last night on 160. You were just above my noise
level, but considering your antenna and power limitations, I was happy to
work you.
Had time limitations due to church activities both Friday and Saturday
evenings, but managed to get just over 200 in the log. Only 1 DX
station worked. I was called by a C6 from the Bahamas early this morning.
Hope to improve my CW contesting skills, so someday I can swim with the big
fish.
73, Steve KW3A
