W6WRT:
 >160 meters is never crowded, even during major contests.

then,
 >I'll bet it is mostly empty outside the bottom 50 or so kHz.

         Back-peddling alert!  :-) After K1MK's comment that
160 operation is nothing new in TARA since 2006, I looked
up last year's top category scores claimed on 3830:

W4ZE -  782 Qs total, 0 on 160 (MS-HP)
K4GMH - 750 Qs total, 0 on 160 (SO-HP)
VY2SS - 431 Qs total, 0 on 160 (SO-LP)

To repeat K1MK's quote (from K5ZD about SS I recall):

"If you're on 160, then you're losing the contest."  To do
so during a major 160 contest is even more ludicrous.  I'll
be anxiously awaiting some big 160 totals from W6WRT in TARA.
;-)
