BTW, last night 160m sounded pretty good. I didn't have time to spend on the radio but I did work my second European DX with 5W from my K2. I worked G3PQA (I think that was it, my memory may not be 100% since I'm in a training course today). Apparently he is a fairly big "Top Band" station. It took a little while until he got my callsign, but afterward, he did say "Nice job for 5W" so I was happy!
