Jon, If you haven't already, check this app out! It was just great figuring out time slots to try the various bands for the K1N expedition! It's a VERY useful tool for DXers - especially low-band DXers! Sure beats the old plastic "DX Edge" that we used in the old days. Very useful for looking at the gray-line (terminator ) as it changes daily throughout the year and watching in real time as the sun and daylight and darkness move over a Mercator projection of a map of the earth. Try it! You'll like it!! Enjoy!

All the K1N ops did an outstanding job ! That is an excellent tip re. getting on after European sunrise and before JA sunset for DXpeditions on the low bands. I got up a number of nights ~ 2 am - 4 am CST to try for K1N. I was successful on 40 and 80 meters with K1N during this time slot. - Jon > Jon, > > I was one of the 160 m operators. > > NA callers were thick during the evening hours when they were > competing with EU, making for some difficult pile-ups, but after > midnight (and EU sunrise), often there were very few NA callers. > > George > AA7JV _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
