I still need 3 for 160m WAS QRP, OR, AK & HI... Every season I think
'maybe this year', and then things come up, and I don't get much time in
front of the rig.
Maybe this year ;)

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'm also trying to complete 160M WAS QRP, and need six states. Four of
them are on your list -- MS, SC, WV, and VT. The best propagation to
them is in the hour or so before their sunrise, and a half hour so so
after their sunrise. The station who's most active in VT, W1SJ, is
absolutely deaf -- he can be 10 over S9 and can't hear me. N8OO has a
big signal from LA, and is not too tough to work. N4OGW is active in
contests from MS; Tor is a good op and has a decent station, but he
goes to bed early. Catch him earlier in the evening. N8II and K8JQ are
active from WV, but not big signals.
I don't see NAQP as a great opportunity, but you might get N8OO. The
reason is that it ends at 10 PM PST, and those of us who go to 160 do
so in the last half hour to grab some more mults. Much better
opportunities during CQWW160 CW, the weekend of Jan 24, and later
during the SSB weekend, Feb 28. Both contests start at 2PM PST Friday.
You probably know that propagation on 160 ebbs and flows through the
evening, and some nights are far better than others. I've worked WAS
in a weekend several times with 100W from CA.
