Hi Tom.
I called CQ for 6 hours. 500 stations called me and of those, 30 were from EU.
90% from 05 – 07Z.

Ed-
Interesting discussion, I've been following it.
Can you elaborate a bit on your statement that you had
30 EU stations respond out of 500 worked?
I've tried flipping it every which way and still can't
make sense of it.

I wish it was that way Jim. I CQ'd for 6 hours in the contest Friday evening
including over the pre-sunrise EU time. That was with pahsed T Top Verticals
and 1/5kW. I had 30 EU stations respond out of 500 worked. I have only
worked JA twice in 20 years from my VT location. I can't speak for why the
west coast doesn't like 160 contests but I can speak to what is actually
happening in W1 vs what you think is happening in W1.
By the way - I have a 1000 ft terminated beverage aiming west and would be
happy to give you that VT QRP Q on 160 if you need it.
