I'm trying for WAS from the center of the US
(EM17) with a trap 75/160m dipole up 20'
flat, pointed N/S and 100w SSB.

In just 1 winter season, operating very casually,
I've managed 45 states on 160 alone. I've operated
maybe 20 hours total.

My question is this: Should I even attempt 160 WAS
and try to get HI and AK or am I not being realistic
considering my setup? I never hear them!

Just wondering.... I could easily get the rest of
the WAS states on 40 or 80, probably in 1
weekend.
