Comments:
Conditions were poor all weekend and very high winds Friday night caused a lot
of power line noise bursts that made life difficult. Also had some Friday night
QRN from lightning SE of Indiana. My QSO numbers were way down this year as
were my sections worked but part of that was due to missing prime time both
nights (wedding anniversary weekend) in addition to the poor conditions. There
still is something special about 160 meters that makes ever QSO remarkable.
Thanks to everyone for another great 160 meter contest.
