It would be a neat thing to do, but I doubt I'll get a 6 meter opening.  Hoping they'll come up on 160M SSB although my expectations of working them are not high.  I was able to work them on 160M CW using my 80 meter inverted vee and very old Heathkit antenna tuner with 400 watts out of the amp and no idea what was actually getting radiated at the antenna.  Heck, it surprised me so much to work them on 160M CW that I also worked an XE (which confirmed on LoTW already), a 6Y, and HU2DX.  Might be time to install a "real" 160 meter antenna.  That should be interesting considering I have little or no room for one.

That's quite a feat - all 27. I have them on all the HF slots except 160 
SSB, pending the latest log upload. Hoping for 160 SSB tonight. Can't do 
6 meters here. Darn.

And yes, you ought to give 160 a try. A bit of a challenge, but within 
it's limitations, very interesting.
