JT65 and JT9 and excellent modes. I have over 144 entities worked on JT65 alone and have worked all states on 10-80 meters (need only DE & RI on 160 and AK, HI & ME on 6 meters.
Last night I worked two Japanese stations on 6 meter JT65 running 80 watts to a 4-element yagi (3 element SteppIR with passive element added) and this morning JH0INP confirmed our QSO via LotW. There's lots of activity on 6 meter JT65 in the summer.
I really like JT modes on 160 meters because I seem to be able to work new ones I can't hear on CW. I highly recommend JT65 & JT9.

Even better than JT65 is JT9.  A fraction of the bandwidth and
according to the author, about 2 dB better with weak signals. The
protocol is the same. Give it a try, you'll like it.
