Not really a problem for 160.

Solar minimum is a solar minimum is a solar minimum. In the last solar
minimum a certain well known multi-multi in one of the major CW DX
tests did a single weekend five band DXCC 160 through 15 meters. I think
that's the only time that's ever been done. Great ops great antennas great
equipment all in place before and since. Seemingly, super great conditions,
maybe once in a lifetime, also have to be in place for such an
accomplishment.

I'm getting ready for what might be a remarkable string of 160 seasons.

73, Guy K2AV
