Hi,

I completed WAS 160 in 2010 and worked most of the states during the 
2008 and 2009 seasons.
Band was almost open to the full USA every night.

Working all states with the current propagation is a real challenge.
You might consider to wait some years till the sun calms down.

Good luck hunting.

Got a limited amount of real estate so I can’t lay out much in the line of radials of receiving antennas, but… I have been able to easily work into the Canadian Maritime provinces (plus the remainder of the New England states), so I know I can hit those states. Problem is that I’ve never heard anyone from there on Top Band!
