Topband: AK & HI On 160 A Day late & a dollar short?

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Alaska was also workable from the east coast last weekend, but very difficult do to poor propagation conditions.  KL7RA answered my CQ on Sunday morning, but very weak.

Hawaii was easily workable this morning on CW and in the ARRL Phone DX Contest a few days ago.  Here are some recent DX Spots from the east coast:

K1UO            1821.5 KH7Y    1054 06 Mar

KM1W            1835.0 KH7X    1052 04 Mar   
WA4ZNY          1850.8 KH7X    0750 04 Mar   
W6AAN           1850.0 KH7X    0746 04 Mar  
VE7VQ           1850.0 KH7X    0739 04 Mar 
W6OAR           1850.8 KH7X    0728 04 Mar  
W3LPL           1859.0 KH7X    1043 03 Mar   
W3LPL           1857.0 KH7X    1034 03 Mar  
W2NY            1858.9 KH7X    1022 03 Mar  
W2PV            1859.0 KH7X    1019 03 Mar 
W3LPL           1819.5 KH7Y    0932 01 Mar 
 
W2PV            1847.9 KH6LC   1019 03 Mar
W3LPL           1848.1 KH6LC   1006 03 Mar  
K1LZ            1846.1 KH6LC   1006 03 Mar
