Hi,
This list is hosted at something called "contesting.com" but I am not
much of a contester. I only supply QSOs to people who are serious about
it. I would consider using remote receivers (I already listen to some of
them - WebSDR) but not for a contest or something like DXCC.
I am making some progress toward being QRV on 160 again. But I will
never be a big gun. I have heard some DX - farther away than Canada -
but the original poster is unlikely to ever work my modest station. In
fact, so many people are disinterested in chatting on 160 with other
hams on the same continent that my resurrection of 160 meters is low
priority. But eventually - maybe. It's even worse, I don'y use FT-8.
Tried it. Passed it by.

In my case, I don't really get going on 160M until the beginning of
November. My October is usually getting ready for CQ WW SSB and then Nov -
Feb is basically CW season for me which includes getting on 160M DXing.
I respect VY2ZM's comments on FT8 but you will never find me stooping to
that level just to make a Q. Its easier if both stations use remote
receiving stations nearby the DX too, but that doesn't make it the right
thing to do. I prefer to be the one hearing and working the DX.not my
computer. No offense to my computer.
