Don, Me too, also I hope whoever it is has a great receive antenna and the condx are excellent. I have been waiting for an AK QSO on 160 for several years. Have never even heard any here in upstate NY on my contorted inv V.
Good luck to both of us, 73 Joe K2UF -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Goldtr8 (KD8NNU) Sent: Friday, January 09, 2015 9:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Topband: 160 Worked All States I hope an AK contact that uses LOTW shows up and I can work them from MI.

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 hunting. 73 Henk PA5KT James Bennett schreef op 1/9/2015 om 6:50 PM: > Hi folks - I'm trying to complete my WAS on 160 and need a confirmed QSO > with anyone in the following five states: LA, MS, SC, WV, VT. > > I run an Elecraft K3/KPA500 into an Inverted L with a K2AV-designed FCP > under it.
