I received my 160 WAZ Certificate in the mail today.
I have worked and confirmed 38 Zones, still missing Zones 2 and 37. All contacts were made using CW.
update March 15th 2010: I have been awarded certificate number 342 for the 160 Meter WAZ award.
The certificate will be endorsed with this statement: ” 1st 160 WAZ from Iceland “.
To give an idea of the difficulty of this award, the 5 band WAZ Certificate has been awarded to 1674 stations (80m,40m,20m,15m,10m) and only 806 stations have worked all 200 zones.

I have applied for the Worked All Zones Award for 160 meters. This is one of the oldest and most prestigious award in Amateur Radio – having its start before WWII, and 160m is the most difficult band to accomplish the award on.
Only 335 stations have qualified for the basic award and only 143 stations worldwide have accomplished contacts with all zones on 160 meters.
I applied for the basic award (30 Zones) with an endorsement for 36 Zones confirmed.
Since I applied for the award, I have received the QSL card from XE2WWW (Zone 6) and I have requested QSL cards from several stations in Zone 9 bringing the total number of Zones worked on 160 meters to 38.
I am still missing Zones 2 and 37, which should be fairly “easy” to work once there is activity from these areas.
This is the first WAZ 160 issued to a TF station.
