Don,
Me too, also I hope whoever it is has a great receive antenna and the condx
are excellent. I have been waiting for an AK QSO on 160 for several years.
Have never even heard any here in upstate NY on my contorted inv V.
Good luck to both of us,

I hope an AK contact that uses LOTW shows up and I can work them from MI.
That would give me WAS on 160m CW.

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.
