:::: I'm new to this group, but have been a very active ham for all 58
years licensed. I've become very interested in 160 especially since the
other bands cndx are so terrible.
I have lots of land to play antennas with (15 flat acres) and currently
have a full size dipole at 90', an inverted L with vertical leg almost
100', and two 850' beverages; plus a 100' tower. I'm also running full
power.
I have had great success contesting on this band (avg 1000qs) but not
really much DX. My country total is about 15. I'm reading here about
some people working DX and wondering about when I need to get on to hear
this stuff. I see the word "overnight" but wondering around what time is
best. I'm in east TN.

WQ5L has a very loud signal into GA from MS and he was on overnight during
night 1 of the ARRL 160. For me, sigs from EU were not as strong as usual last
night.

Subject: Topband: WAS 160
This morning, for the first time in a couple of years, I could hear/work a
number of NA stations again with good signals.
This leads me to believe that I can finally complete WAS 160m this season by
working someone in MS. Been stuck at 49 states for 4 years now...
Any suggestions as to who is active from MS on 160m with a good station? I am
located at Lat 65.4N so geomagnetic disturbances are a big issue. The bigger
the station is at the other end, the better.
