[KCDXC] Russian 160M contest (this weekend)

[tombaugh]

Sounds a little like a Stew Perry contest with Grid Squares.
I personally have never worked Russia on 160M.
Of course I was only licensed 5 years ago and haven't been licensed through
one complete solar cycle.
I've had fun with the peak and now I'm ready for the bottom with 160M 1/4
wave.
Personally I believe in planning and preparation.
I wonder.. for those of you who HAVE worked Russia on 160M.. what times did
that happen.
Optimal times will be the key here and will give the opportunity to perhaps
get a new one and not use up a whole weekend contesting. I'm not at my home
computer so a can't look at sunrise/sunset data either. I'm sure those these
correlate.
Who has worked Russia on 160M and what times?

Here's a quick synopsis.
