After a few days of poor DX conditions, looks like 160m propagation is getting back to normal . . . I myself managed an S9 report from Washington State last night. So hope we'll see lots of stations

If you have an efficient transmitting antenna, and an accurately calibrated S Meter, I have found over the decades that most signal reports are pretty Reciprocal. When it comes to 160m DX-ing, I thin
