Well as an EU station that consistently works ARRL 160 (though Stew and CQWW
160 are better) I do hope to work into the West Coast, so please someone listen
:) It's a good way to improve my 160m WAS -still need the Dakotas and KH6 -
but happy to work anyone. I don't hold out much hope for the West Coast as we
also have to battle through the East Coast!!
