Из истории освоения диапазона 160 м.
RU3XS Сергей Григорьевич рассказал, что в 1959 году он проаел свое первое QSO на 160 м CW с UB5TJ с коллективки UA3KAR. А в начале 1960-х диапазон был закрыт для радиолюбителей.

Из истории освоения 160m диапазона, взгляд из США
Вот что пишут в Википедии про "Джентльменский диапазон" ("Gentleman's Band"):
Just above the mediumwave broadcast band, 160 meters is the lowest radio frequency band allocation available to amateur radio operators in most countries. Seasoned operators often refer to 160 meters as Top Band, it is also sometimes referred to as the "Gentleman's Band" in comparison to the often-freewheeling 80 and 20 meter band allocations.
History
The 160 meter band is the oldest amateur band and was the staple of reliable communication in the earliest days of amateur radio, when almost all communications were over relatively short distances. The band was allocated on a worldwide basis by the International Radiotelegraph Conference in Washington, D.C., on October 4, 1927. The allocation was 1715–2000 kHz. The 1947 International Radio Conference of Atlantic City reduced the allocation to 1800-2000 kc under the provision that amateurs must not interfere with Loran operation.
