Len, I thought you would like to see this VE6WZ 160m log extract. The SM top
160m list at VE6WZ.
SM7BIC is in 3rd place for the most SM QSOs on 160m CW with 89 QSOs since the
year 2000:

I have a total of 802 160m QSOs with Sweden on 160m, with John SM5EDX leading
the pack with 219 of them.
Yes, I love to work anyone from EU, as many time as possible. Every single
repeat QSO is a thrill!
I will be looking for you again this winter!!
Steve, Ve6wz.

Keep it going Bob!!
Great to know you are keeping the RF alive on TB.
I have been mostly QRT from TX on 160 since I am rebuilding (and expanding)
my remote station TX system into a 4 el, 6 direction parasitic array.
Hopefully work will be completed by end August and VE6WZ will be back QRV.
My plan is to join you and try and keep the band alive for morning time
VK-ZL-JA and the nighttime trans-polar path into Europe this fall-winter.
Steve, ve6wz

George AA7JV has been very active testing for early August Jarvis Island N5J
operations. His testing has been mostly oriented towards eastern US in time
frame but very workable at their current American Samoa location K8R. Kudos
to George for keeping band active.

and very workable. Of note JA5DQH, VK6LW and JA1LZR have been active at
times. Unlike Winter ops the optimum time is SR gray zone propagation with
some great peaks. I must note the left coast has a great window to the
Pacific in the pre-sunrise period as the thunderstorm QRN prevalent dips
down giving us boys out west a very good signal to noise ratio.
