[WVDXA] 17 Countries worked on 160 SSB this weekend

[Philip M. Roberts]

Greg,
I did not hear you last night. My biggest problem was a W0 who would 
not quit calling when the CW6V was trying to get my call. I finally 
asked the W0 to QRX until I had made the contact. He did and after I 
finished he made a contact. Such is life in the dogpile.

Did you get your antenna working as it should?

Phil
