Mack,
 
The optimal times cover a wide range, which is a good thing.  My data below are the UTC times that I worked these states in the ARRL 160 Contest  2006 thru 2008.  This will allow you to compare apples and apples since all QSOs were in December.
 
HI       0539, 0734, 0739, 1043, 1219
 
ID       0158, 0413, 0428, 0605, 0635, 0803, 0806
 
NV      0305, 0445, 0648, 0732
 
WY     0307, 0412, 0438, 0731
 
 
As you can see most were worked between 0400 and 0800.  Hope this helps and Good luck on getting them all.

Subject: [SECC] 160M Propagation Tips for the weekend

I’m fairly new to contesting on 160M (two years) and would like your tips on how the propagation is this time of year for the ARRL 160M CW Contest.

 

I need 4 states to WAS on 160M. Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming. When is the optimal time during the evening to work these states?

 

Thanks in advance for any tips.
