Topband: 160 Worked All States

[George]

Hello Jim etal

This has probably been mentioned?   But CQ 160 CW Contest coming up in two 
weeks is an excellent venue to finish those Topband WAS quests.

Also the ARRL CW DX contest in mid February.

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.
