The night you worked them Joel, saw your spot and immediately listened. NOTHING heard here. My only issue is that with our peak, other very good antenna DXers guys still are louder, even at my peak and would beat me out.. Hi hi   Disappointment but I do with what I have, which ain’t much. I listen when I start hearing the closer K4 or K8 stations calling or spotting on DX Summit. Usually about a 45 min window total.  TU.

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!
