Comments:
With 47 states (needing WA, AK, and HI) for WAS and 87 countries,
I have a hard time missing any 160 contest -- even when the sunspot
cycle suggests there is no current hope for me. So this was a
somewhat forlorn attempt. But hope springs eternal!
With LP and a poor dipole, I heard many stations that did not hear me.
I finally quit at ~ 10pm when all stations were either dupes or didn't
respond. As the uplift from LP stations usually offset my mistakes,
I'm assuming my final score will be between 125 and 135.

Rig: TS590SG
Antenna: Bent "dipole": A 75-coil-160 dipole, center at 35' high.
South leg runs straight, through a tree at 30', then
down to 25' at end.
North leg runs to house corner at 30', turns east
for another ~30' to tree limb at 20', then turns SE
for another ~20' through trees, ending at 10'.
[This is fed in parallel with an 80-coil-40/30 fan dipole]
