Topband: It is not so much propagation

WSPR has been doing exactly that for years - over the last 24hrs there were 15 US, 
36 EU and 5 VK stations active on 160. Activity tends to drop off as the summer 
progresses but there is generally a core of US/ EU/VK active most nights.

I've often thought that some of the big gun stations could really contribute to 160 
propagation studies by utilising their antenna systems during the downtime between 
contests and especially during the summer.
