Topband: WAS on 160 meters in three (3) days

[paulkb8n at aol.com]

The guy who has the record this year, I believe, is Jim, W5JAW, in five  
hours!  Incredibly, Jim did this with Low Power to a 12 FOOT VERTICAL  !!!  
Can anyone top that?!

Wonder how many  worked WAS during this year's ARRL160, and it would have 
been a completely  different game had it occurred this past  weekend.

Julius,

My  experience this year from DM52, extreme Southwest New Mexico, is as  
follows:

#44 -- SC @ 0124

#45 -- VT @ 0222

#46 -- RI  @ 0430

#47 -- LA @ 0442

#48 -- HI @ 0459

#49 -- DE @  0644

#50 -- AK @ 0931

So, I was able to make WAS in 11 hours and  31 minutes.  Alaska was very 
late 
this year.  I normally work AK  and HI before I finish with one or two of 
the 
eastern, lesser represented  states.  This is not a record of elapsed time 
for me, but was good  under the conditions.

Milt, N5IA
