I think there is still no SSB operation permitted in JA on 160, but other countries in Asia can work SSB on that band. I'd not expect a lot of propagation into Asia from the SE USA on SSB in Sept, though. This can be a fun contest and, as Gary suggests, a few rare DX Asians can usually be found among the JAs. Send RS plus your age or RS plus 00 for YLs. 73, John, K4BAI.
