Sorry a little late with my effort.

42, 160 points   about 7 hours

Very surprised to work so few SECC stations. Think NS4E was the best.

Now for the sad part...40 meter rotatable dipole wouldn't work, so
somehow had to use the 160 L for 40 and 80 and 160...not a bad
antenna. Think the balun on the 40 is the problem since I can read an
open between shield and center with an ohm meter.

Noise was horrible. On 15, had a pipeline into W6 and W0-CO

Started on 10 and believe it or not, 1st 2 stations worked were SD and
ND. Wound up working both States a number of times.

But the worst of all, besides having a cast on my left wrist, was
coming down with a
"mother of all viruses" case of Bronchitus on Tuesday. Fortunately Dr.
phoned in some antibotics, but I spent 3 days in bed, and could hardly
talk.

Now for the good news, yesterday, Dr. "reduced" the cast on my wrist
so I now have all my fingers free. Scheduled to come off next week.

CQ 160 this weekend will be just to give a few guys a Q.
