Keep in mind that 160 is dead right now due to the sun cycle. 160 is
always dead during the day.

Hello,
FT8 on 160m pales.
WSJT-X operators customarily running FT8 and FT4 on 80m through 10m HF
bands are likely disappointed with trials on 160m. As one of those
operators I recently ran WSPR on 160m in comparison to working FT8
QSOs on 160m. In NA EST daytime operation at 2220Z WSPR faultlessly
listed a -28 dBm decode.
Here I suggest we need an improved decode sensitivity for 160m QSOs,
likely needing to be done with a new mode. Granted, the TX and RX
times would have to be increased (Shannon-Hartley Theorem). That would
require additional operator patience and associated protocols for the
extended timing.
