I agree that (at least for me) DX has been slowing down since DST started. Here is my uneducated opinion as to why. LSS is now after 2000 EDT here - most talk style and sports stations in the US have already switched to national / syndicated programming and they may only ID once or twice an hour. I have to wait longer to get an ID, whereas if it were earlier they would probably run more local programming and ds making it much easier to DX. I have been working until 1900 EDT so I missed out on the better DX conditions (local programming and such) before DST started.

You write >but things have been slowing down since >the Daylight Saving Time switchover!! Why? It?s been two weeks since the switchover. I realize that the days are getting longer. Does only a minutes per day make that much of a difference in the short run? Good luck on the 450.
