Compare to recent weeks conditions were marginal during CQWW. Only two Zone 4 stations were audible here and it took long time to work them. Whereas a
week ago band was wide open from MI, IL to CO or even down to TX.
I worked only mults and Dx's this time. Only 13 stations from Zone 5 in my
log. Except for VY2ZM all NA's were weak including KC1XX and W3LPL!
Hopeful things improve for next weekend and will work some more in ARRL 160.

Conditions certainly didn't favor 160 over the weekend CQWW contest here in
Florida at least.

Looking back in 2019 I worked 50 countries on 160 during CQWW, this year it was only 17, only 3 Europeans and those were very weak. I'm sure the lack of expeditions due to CV-19 played a part but on whole I think many guys
in hindsight will be glad they didn't spend the money to go.

Maybe things will pick up next weekend for the ARRL 160 test though that tends to be largely a USA to USA test and it is hard to hear the DX through the
local mob

CU guys in the pile up
