I was decoded at VP8EME last night and the DP0 in Antarctica.  No contacts but good decodes.

During the last 15 mins or so of CWT, stations worked on 160 included:

on the east G4UFK, not in test.
on the west N6RO

Western RBN's VE7CC, VE6WZ, NC7J, east spot (not RBN) ON7PQ.

Don't sound like a dead band to me. Some number of signals were better than
20 over.

If you're starved for 160 time, get a CWOPS number and show up on 160 the
last 15 minutes of the 0300-0400Z segment (Wednesday nights US local time,
Thursday AM Zulu.) Exchange is name and CWOPS number or name and state
without one.

Activity is generally 1827.5 and up

Get to play around a little bit. Work on stuff and test it out, etc.

73, Guy
