In Response to post by Roger, G3YRO
The morning sunrise peaks are still here in Western US and warrant a
good listen when the band is open. The key word here is 'Open". I'm
fortunate to have a beacon station HL5IVL who is on most mornings
calling CQ DX to cast an opinion. I start listening 2
Thanks for all the comments . . .
Obviously at OUR Sunrise here in Europe it's still dark in North America, so
I was mainly talking about that, as the peak works both ways. But clearly
most of you agree.
I've been working DX on 160m since 1970 . . . and there was ALWAYS a big
peak in NA
I started a thread about this very subject back in July at:
ham.stackexchange.com/questions/8940/what-is-the-cause-of-this-unusually-long-period-of-terrible-hf-band-conditions
Let us know your opinions. Several (except one) have posted references
there that this solar minimum is not *any* lower
in actual signal levels (with corresponding increase in S/N).

Wasn't some of the apparent peaking of signals at sunrise due to
improved signal to noise levels as noise levels drop at sunrise?
20 years ago for many of us, noise levels did actually drop at
sunrise. For many DXers now, (man-made) noise levels
Although my first ever top-band QSO was in 1959 and was a DX station (VE7) it's
only been in the last year or so that I've been semi-seriously working the
band. The impetus being a 9th band DXCC. At the moment, I have 82 entities
worked, 52 of them in the last 12 months. I'm clearly not an
