[ILQSO] RE: 160 meters

Doug, nearly all of the 160 contacts made in ILQP in recent years have been 
on moves from other bands.  I would suggest anyone interested in 160 agree 
on a time, say 0130Z, to make some noise on that band.  My guess is that 
anyone other than multi-ops will not make enough contacts on that band to 
warrant much time there.

You will find a LOT of activity on 80 cw after about 2330Z.  Several of the 
mobiles migrate there when the high bands slow down, and it's likely you'll 
work some counties only on 80 cw.

I would like to set scheds with people esp. for  160M and 6 and 2. I suspect that most activity will be 20M and 40M so if someone wants Boone Cty on other bands, scheds are the probably the best way.
