And how about the clown last night, around 10pm his local time, when TI9/3Z9DX
was working EU, who got on his frequency and said, NA NA NA, I'm tired and
need my sleep. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Great points Chet.
Under the Be there category, consider getting up in the middle of the
night to work them on the low bands. Even in the first days of their
operation, I got up at 2 a.m. and worked them easily on 160-80-40 with 100
watts and no pileups.

I listened almost 10hrs
. They would take some 10-15 up and then take some
around 3815 and then repeat the sequence.

This is speculation and depends entirely on who is in charge at the
Interior Department-FWL etc. It could happen a lot sooner and
they were doing. They would take some 10-15 up and then take some
around 3815 and then repeat the sequence.

I have a question .. not top band related ... almost
but how often did k1n venture into the general portion of the band on
75m, even on 40m
I couldn't even make a contact on 20M 0UTC and next 2hrs was best
according to K6TU propagation

George is spot-on with his comments.
I logged K1N from W6 early in the expedition at 0857Z on 3 February for
my first QSO with K1N. The absence of Euros made it a relatively easy QSO.

I consider VP6DX to be one of the top all time 160 meter DX operations. Despite
being thousands of miles from North America, they worked many small stations
including me (at the time had just moved so a random wire thrown over the house
and 100 watts).
K1N had a great signal on 160, well over

Thanks for the note. All the K1N ops did an outstanding job !
That is an excellent tip re. getting on after European sunrise and before JA
sunset for DXpeditions on the low bands.
I got up a number of nights ~ 2 am - 4 am CST to try for K1N. I was successful
on 40 and 80 meters

Jon,
I was one of the 160 m operators.
NA callers were thick during the evening hours when they
were competing with EU, making for some difficult
pile-ups, but after midnight (and EU sunrise), often there
were very few NA callers.

Milt,
In this aspect all DXpeditions are equal.
Just one comment: Having a large person expedition can yield large
differences in 160m Q's compared to a two person expedition. On a two man
operation, the ops must decide what band to operate at night, 30, 40, 80

Good evening all.
The K1N final numbers are in.
I also received some further statistics from Bernd, DF3CB, which slightly
change the order of the standings.
I received come comments about propagation differences. The following are,
IMHO, the relevant factors.
