Topband: ARRL 160

[Richard Karlquist]

>From central California, perennial big guns JA3YBK and JA5DQH were way
over S9 in the ARRL 160 about 2 hours before SR.  They had big pileups,
so I am thinking lots of stations were hearing them, whether or not they
could work them.

From my QTH near San Francisco, the only stations I heard from the west were KH6 and KL7 (2,000 miles over water), and I heard very few stations from the east coast (2,800). "DX" was PJ2 and C6 (3,800 miles).
