That is the only reason I have XX9 on 160. The last time there was big 
low-band effort there, they were unbelievable loud on CW several 
mornings in a row, but they just couldn't hear me. I think K6NA managed 
to work him on CW, but he was one of the few I remember getting over 
their noise floor. By contrast, they were relatively easy to work on 
FT8. Not as satisfying as a CW QSO, but certainly better than nothing.

Topband is fickle. Sometimes, you come up empty because your not loud 
enough and sometimes you come up empty because can't hear well enough.
