It would be nice if more DXpeditions would schedule some 160 SSB
Several recent operations have simply ruled it out entirely
Admittedly there is not a potential for lots of QSOs but some of us would like 
to build up our 160 SSB country totals
Most operations that do get on 160 SSB just show up randomly and, unless you 
sit around for several hours each night monitoring the packet cluster you never 
have a chance to work them
What would be a reasonable plan would be to schedule SSB operations ahead and 
have the operators on higher bands announce the time and frequency and request 
that it be posted on the cluster ahead of time
If this was done late in the operation there would be a feel for when SSB on 
160 would be most practical
