Hello Andy,

I am sorry that I missed you, but I was busy with a 5 watt QRP 160 meter operating event last night.  I was way down on about 1.810 looking for weak 5 watt signals. I called "CQ FOX"and was answered by John G3PQA! I had to look at my RF output settings again to make sure I was really running 5 watts. When I switched to my Europe beverage, he was very loud and was hearing me very well, even with my QRP! I know that we have had some great QRP QSOs also, but they do not happen every day!  Yesterday was a good night for 160!

I closed up my VHF shack on the hill yesterday. It is difficult to use in winter with cold & snow. So now I have more time to spend on 160 meters!
