Have you listened?
160m is a nighttime band.
Almost every morning, activity on 1859 KHz at 5AM between about five stations.
John VK1CJ, Tom VK2TB Rydal or Batemens Bay, VK8RC port 4 Deception Bay to name a few.
They are all using full size 160m dipoles or equivalent large antenna.
Power wise, either 100W transceivers or 400W amplifiers.
Power AND a full sized antenna is everything. (and SSB!)
Listening is easy. here, my TV pole guy wires, each 7m.
