Just wanted to say I had a great time working the 160m CW contest this

stations from Maine to S. Texas.

Wow. I wonder how many you would have worked on 160 with that antenna
if you had been using ssb?

I think that is one of the things that may dissapoint new hams that may
when the CW requirement is gone, (which I have predicted to happen about
the bottom of the sunspot cycle) and they get on the air, and they don't
do a whole lot after that? They will wonder what all the hubub was about.

Whereas you worked a lot of the US with an antenna that by all rights
shouldn't work much at all!
