160m DXing on SSB is really tough in a contest and is the primary reason 
I choose not to do any serious or semi-serious efforts in the 160 SSB 
contest.  The splatter from the domestic contesters covers a lot of 
really good DX.

VP6DX was mostly pretty good copy here, in between deliberate and 
non-deliberate QRMers.  I stayed with it for a few minutes until he 
announced "Europe only" and gave it a pass.  If he's in there tonight, 
I'll give it another whirl.
