[Waverley ARS] 160M Contest Anyone?

[Adam Carmichael]

Hi Laurie,

I'm definitely interested, even if only a tea-maker because an F call 
might not have enough power (but then who knows? We've around the world 
on 1 watt before!).

Do you think we will have better chances at the light house or the club 
QTH? On a cold July night, the club would be nice and cosy.

160M sure is an interesting challenge from a where-to-put-it perspective :)

73s and Thanks for the invite!
