I had a similar experience to Ed, W0SD. Having had absolutely zero copy on
FT5ZM on 160 prior to today on my half-sloper, I had given up hope of
hearing them on 160, let alone actually work them.

I worked XV7BM on 160 at my sunrise (about 1400z) this morning, running
about 900w, and transmitting/receiving on the same antenna, a half-sloper

Sound from Lynnwood, WA so that would certainly be a possible location for
the carrier's transmitter.
