I think propagation should be taken in consideration on 160, nowadays has been hard to work Europe form Florida, I don't remember propagation so difficult like the one we are experiencing during this second peak if the solar cycle.
K1N results on 160 m are just fantastic.

The following list of 7 DXpeditions are head and shoulders above the rest of the pack, so far as I have been able to discover in the records. Most other major DXpedtions list total Topband Qs in the 2,500 to 3,500 range. Very interesting. Enjoy, and if anyone has further information, please forward it to me. Thanks, and have a great, leisurely weekend now that you don't have to pursue K1N. 73 de Milt, N5IA ============================================================================ ======= #1 5A7A, Libya, near Tripoli, with the entire European continent less than 4,000 KM distant.
