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
