Hi Dick:
I have a very modest (or should I say pathetic) 160-meter capability, but I
have heard CW top band stations from Japan and the South Pacific.
It seems that the upcoming equinox in September might be a good time to look
for VKs, ZLs, and the South Pacific.
I would be interested in setting up a 160 sked with anyone in those areas.
