Thanks Dick, TX3A Chesterfield 3425 QSOs 2 man team from Nov 3 till Nov 30 2009 VK9GMW Mellish Reef over 2000 QSOs 2 man team from March 28 till April 13 2009 we have both in the Mega DXpeditions Honor Roll, of course. However, we don't have the band/mode breakdowns of these two and others and thus can't provide the 160m QSO total.

Topband: K1N 5000q's on 160
Great show. To put it in perspective: Malpelo -- HK0NA, Similar to K1N, has the record for Topband Qs as far as I know. Anyone have the Topband numbers? The Baltic Sea island a few years ago, right in the heart of EU, is # 2. Anyone have the Topband numbers? VP6DX from the middle of the south Pacific, southern hemisphere summer.

Re: Topband: K1N 5000q's on 160
You guys make me feel bad since in 1969 (K4IA/KC4) I was the only 160 meter op from Navassa and didn't crack 200but that was with a 170 foot wire strung rock to rock across Lulu Bay with a pair of Drake Twins and a series capacitor against the railroad track that was there as a sort of ground. The good news is that I worked the all of the faithful TB stalwarts of that era including W1BB Stew Perry who was chasing TB DXCC as others were.

Topband: K1N 5000q's on 160
With a bit of time on my hands, and using some information and links sent to me by persons responding to my post earlier today, I have compiled the following list of All Time Topband DXpedition leaders for total 160 Meter Qs. The following list of 7 DXpeditions are head and shoulders above the rest of the pack, so far as I have been able to discover in the records. Most other major DXpedtions list total Topband Qs in the 2,500 to 3,500 range. Very interesting. Enjoy, and if anyone has further information, please forward it to me. Thanks, and have a great, leisurely weekend now that you don't have to pursue K1N. 73 de Milt, N5IA === #1 5A7A, Libya, near Tripoli, with the entire European continent less than 4,000 KM distant.
