Comments:
In spite of conditions not seeming quite as good as last year from this QTH, I
managed to improve my score by a little better than 10% over my 2007 effort.
The 2007 CQ160-CW was my last "paper log" contest, so I'm sure computer logging
helped. A loop RX antenna and second radio also made a difference. The first 300
Qs were easy and I thought making my goal of 500 Qs was a cinch, but I had to
work like a dog for the last 200! Almost made WAS again but didn't hear KL7.
Worked CE,CU,KH6,VP9,XE and R3 m/m. There was a fair opening to EU both nights
but they weren't hearing my QRP sig.
Thanks to all the ops who did the "heavy lifting" in pulling my signal from the
noise. You're the ones who make QRP worthwhile! 73 - Paul, K0PK
