>From The Daily DX:
"A group of Japanese Amateur Radio operators plans to be active from
Lohifushi Island, Maldives from 15 to 23 September. They will have
three IC-706 transceivers, two HL-1K (500 watt) amplifiers, Titanex
V80E vertical for 40-160 meters, Cushcraft R-7 and R-7000 for 10
through 40 meters, a two element beam for 10 meters and a 5 element
beam for 6 meters. Suggested frequencies are as follows: 1822 QSX
1830 and up (1908 JA) 28022, 28480, 50105 (beacon) QSX 50135 and up.
They will be on all bands from 6 to 160 meters on CW, SSB and RTTY.
An emphasis will be put on 10 meters for West Coast US stations both
long and short path. The group will consist of:
Name Home call Requested 8Q call
Zhen (YL) KB3CCC 8Q7LI
Yuu JR2KDN 8Q7US
Yasu JI1NJC 8Q7CC
Hiro JJ1AEB 8Q7HA
Nob JF2MBF 8Q7BB
All QSL cards via JR2KDN (direct or via bureau), Yuu Yoshida, 4th
floor Kato Bldg.., 529 Rokugaike, Kita-ku, Nagoya, 462-0002 JAPAN."
(de W4ZV) Looks like a good possibility for 160 from this group.
They have a good antenna (Titanex)and amplifier, are going at
an optimum time (Equinox) for all bands including 160, and I
recall JI1NJC being a very active Topbander from my days in Colorado.
