Henk hit the nail squarely on the head - 100%.
I'll add that even a lot of the top scorers only had 100-300Q's on 160m for an entire weekends work. The easier Q's (rate) are on other bands. ".Lot of people who take part in contest do that because they like to contest, not to make regular qso's. In most contests the purpose is to work as much stations and multipliers. Working as much stations works best on the higher bands. Only reason to come on 160 is to work multipliers, and maybe work some strong stations. 73 Henk PA5KT ."
