Topband: 160 Worked All States

[john at kk9a.com]

The ARRL DX CW contest is a DX contest.  I would not chose this event to
work someone in my own country, it is unlikely that the QSO will be logged.

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 folks - I'm trying to complete my WAS on 160 and need a confirmed QSO
with anyone in the following five states: LA, MS, SC, WV, VT.

I run an Elecraft K3/KPA500 into an Inverted L with a K2AV-designed FCP
under it. 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!

So - if you can get on some evening while we have relatively good
propagation, I'd love to arrange a schedule. If we connect I can QSL via
LoTW or direct with my card and an SASE.

Thanks,
