I worked them on 160 in just a few calls with my 80m INV V and 500 watts on CW. Timing and luck are everything. It was super early just after our sunset. Yes I was shocked.

For being the #1 needed country they were very easy to work for the USA.

Hi Larry,

We now live in an entitlement minded society. All are suppose to have equal access to everything, regardless of personal preparation. Just because you have an extra class license, bigger antennas, and more operating savvy shouldn't give you any advantage over the guy who does not have these things! :-)

With all due respect, Mike, these things are within your control and the
DXpedition should not be held responsible for you not being able to work
them. You'll find DXing way more fun when you upgrade (although K1N DID look for Generals on some bands). With regards to 60m, many operators there find a way to load their existing 80/160m antennas. At least one guy who worked
them on that band uses what he calls a Bird Feeder -- which is in no way
resonant on 60m.
