The JT9 and JT65 windows have been jumping this winter. I've been 
monitoring for about a month, in hopes of working SC and VT to complete 
QRP WAS on 160. I was successful a few weeks ago in completing a QSO 
with WV. From my QTH 5 miles from the Pacific, 70 miles S of San 
Francisco, I've decoded 530 different stations, and they were working 
another 30-40 stations I could not decode. On any given night, it's 
common to decode at least 50 different stations. At least a third of the 
stations are east of the Mississippi River. Four were from EU, two from 
VK (including VK6, 8,000 miles mostly over water) and a few SA. Nearly 
all states and most Canadian provinces have been represented; the only 
US states not decoded are HI and VT.

The comparison with CW activity is stark -- my P3 display rarely shows 
more than one or two signals on the band at any one time, and when I 
tune to them, it's often an unanswered CQ.
