Howard,

It's like  real estate: Location, location, location.   Of course maybe real 
estate isn't such a good analogy these days.  And being on the east coast 
cuts both ways.  Although I can often get into Europe, , I've never worked 
farther west than the west coast on 160.

I did get the  k5D guys on  both cw and ssb on 160 and they have been loud 
at times.   If you have an antenna for the band, give a listen, the 
propagation gods may be kind to you.

73, Steve KW3A
