After 50+ years as an amateur radio operator, this contest was my first significant 160M activity.  I had had better locations for 160M antennas, but now I'm in a community with covenents.  :(   Still, I'm on the air with workable antennas.

I checked my inverted-L "in the woods" and found that a tree limb had snagged the horizontal leg, but the antenna was operational.  My automatic tuner (also in-the-woods) gave me a great SWR.  It was a good day to be inside and operating - cold rain for most of the time.  The gear even cooperated.  :)

In any case, it was fun to really exercise the band and listen to detect how the propagation was changing.  Needless to say, I'll be back.
