In the last couple weeks here in central Texas VP8EME has been on 160m FT8 with 
a decodable/workable FT8 signal most evenings that I happened to be on.  Even 
decoded him sending a report to a DL one evening.   

Expeditions planning 160m capabilities should seriously consider including160m 
FT8 to their modes of operation to increase their 160m footprint.
