You maybe correct Roger.

I was just telling you where they all went.  :)

I often hear .. no one on CW on 160M, but if you then look at the FT8
passband, it looks like 20M.

Now, with FT4 coming, we might have a 2nd group to look at.

Then, when a 160M CW contest shows up, the band is full of CW.  Go figure.
