[ADXA] 5X3C on 160 Meters

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

For you ADXA folks who have an average 160 meter setup, heck even if it 
is below average, and want a shot at 5X3C I would encourage you to 
listen between 7:15-7:30 PM, or even expand that a bit from 7:00 to 7:45 
PM, at our local sunset which currently 7:16 PM.

Thursday night they had a massive sig for about 15 mins at our sunset 
and were totally gone by 7:35 PM. I worked them easily Thursday night at 
0022z. I did not listen Friday evening as I was on 7P8LB watch and last 
night I was very busy helping Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne tame the wild 
west so don't know if they were on 160 or not. Tonight, however they 
were on 160 and again had a HUUUUGE signal right at and just after our 
SS for about 20 minutes or so and then gone.

Remember, timing is everything so hang at the radio. This is 160 meters 
so there is NO guarantee this will occur every night they are on 160 but 
so far it has occurred on two nights. IMPORTANT - they are listening up 
so do NOT transmit on their frequency. They have been on 1827.3, usually 
listening up 3 or so. Call them UP UP UP!!! Do not call on their 
frequency and become a candidate for the ADXA Goober Award!

They seen to hear very well on 160 so if you don't believe you have 
enough "meat" on 160 but are listening and hear them, give them a call. 
Propagation on 160 is strange and you may be surprised!
