The CQ 160M CW and SSB contests coming up might be a good bet. I worked, and confirmed on LOTW, WAS in one CW contest a few years back.

Good luck!

Yep, I’m planning on it. I also participated in the recent ARRL 160 contest, but never heard anyone from 
those five states. I had needed NC and got that on, confirmed shortly after the contest. Usually, if I can hear 
‘em, I can work ‘em. But if they aren’t on, I’m hosed!

Tnx, Jim

Get on for NAQP this weekend (saturday night) and I'm sure you can work most of 
those states. Exchange is simple, just name and state.

Hi folks - I’m trying to complete my WAS on 160 and need a confirmed QSO with 
anyone in the following five states: LA, MS, SC, WV, VT.

I run an Elecraft K3/KPA500 into an Inverted L with a K2AV-designed FCP under it. Got a limited 
amount of real estate so I can’t lay out much in the line of radials of receiving antennas, 
but… I have been able to easily work into the Canadian Maritime provinces (plus the remainder 
of the New England states), so I know I can hit those states. Problem is that I’ve never 
heard anyone from there on Top Band!

So - if you can get on some evening while we have relatively good propagation, 
I’d love to arrange a schedule. If we connect I can QSL via LoTW or direct with 
my card and an SASE.

Thanks,
