The K3UK schedule website has quite a few "check ins" that are clamoring to work JT65 on 160 meters - so another "source" for info on JT65...just go to the K3UK web site and hang around for a while, evenings and morning seem best --- you'll see hams lookin' for JT65 QSOs (mostly to work new states for WAS) and just start asking them questions...they'll be helpful plus get some Qs going with ya!
