Hello Jim etal

This has probably been mentioned? But CQ 160 CW Contest coming up in two weeks is an excellent venue to finish those Topband WAS quests.

Also the ARRL CW DX contest in mid February.

Hi,

I completed WAS 160 in 2010 and worked most of the states during the
2008 and 2009 seasons.
Band was almost open to the full USA every night.

Working all states with the current propagation is a real challenge.
You might consider to wait some years till the sun calms down.

Good luck hunting.

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,
