ARRL 160m CW Contest

Completed my first 'official' ARRL contest. I used 100 watts to a 160m quarter wavelength inverted L suspended in the old oak in the back yard. I made 18 contacts, with 14 multipliers, for a total score of 504. This is a meager showing by most accounts, but I'm pleased to have participated and will submit my log to Newington, CT.

Thanks to everyone for the contacts:

KB1EFS, W1UJ, KC4D, K1LT, W1MK, W5MX, K5RX, W1SJ, N4WW, WJ9B,
VA2WDQ, W3TDF, NN3Q, N2ZX, K8PO, W1AN, W2GD, w1SJ.

A special thanks to K5RX in Texas. You were patient with my code, and made sure we had the exchange right! 73 Phil
