KL7RA has built a great contest station/is a great operator. If he is on, it should be no problem to work him. He does use LOTW - I have many confirmations from Rich. Same think for HI. KH6LC has built a great station, and uses LOTW for confirmations. GL with the chase! Tom - VE3CX On

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. ~73 Don KD8NNU 2014 3905CC Top Gun :-) -.- -.. ---.. -. -. ..- -Original Message- From: George Sent: Friday, January 09, 2015 6:28 PM To: Henk PA5KT ; topband@contesting.com

The only state I need for phone 6BWAS is Vermont on 160 phone. Worked it many times on CW. I'll be on for CQWW160 phone beaming Vermont, if I can find a run frequency. The band doesn't usually open up to VT from the left coast until at least 10PM VT time, especially that late into the season.

This Saturday, from 1800Z-0600Z is the NAQP CW. Check 160 from about 0300Z until 0600Z. Some of those states will be there, but it would be nice if you would work everyone you hear. The exchange is name and state/province. 73, Steve, N2IC On 01/09/2015 10:50 AM, James Bennett wrote: Hi

Yep, I’m planning on it. I also participated in the recent ARRL 160 contest, but never heard anyone from those five states. I had needed NC and got that on, confirmed shortly after the contest. Usually, if I can hear ‘em, I can work ‘em. But if they aren’t on, I’m hosed! Tnx, Jim On

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
