Comments:

This is my first full-time ARRL 160M Contest. I installed my first ever 160M antenna a couple weeks ago and wanted to give it a good
test run. It's a W8AMZ reduced 1/2 sloper off my tower at 40'. I ran high power (400w) because I wanted to see how well I could do
and how many states/sections I could work. I wanted to work all 48 continental US but missed Wyoming. Besides WY, I missed sections
PR, PAC, AK, LAX, SV, EWA, NL, MB, BC, and NT.

Conditions the first night were excellent with fairly low noise and good signals. The same was not true the second night. I missed
four hours the second night. When I got to the radio the band was very noisy for a couple hours before finally settling down late.

I had a really good time and my new 1/2 sloper appears to work well on 160 meters.

73, Don AA5AU
