Just a similar story. I tried to QSO him on 80 just to ask the same
question. Someone beat me to the bunch and he responded as he did to
you, but with a later hour. Nothing heard here.

He has not been loud here on 80, and--judging by his rate--he does not
seem to hear all that well in this direction. I have yet to log him--and
am not too optimistic about 160, given this and his achievement of only
a few QSO's as you related.
