You are welcome, San. Looks like some of the club members also got him. 

 

N4DTF turned me on to http://www.dxscape.com/ushfcw.html .

 

Being text based, for me, I can scan that faster for a quicker check. I don't know where the spots originate, but seems like summit, dx heat, and dxscape are all posting pretty much the same spots, same comments. 

 

I've also started using Ham Alert for specific entities I am after. I set it up and enable it and it gives a lot of good spots and call signs, and I learn modes and times for when to expect a good chance of finding a station that way. You can also check LOTW for QSL method. When I'm done, I disable it. Simple to set up, and it's helped me a number of times. I'm not only using it for DX but also states I need for WAS.

TU for the ADXA email notification. Proves that if you listen or “look” if FT8, one can always find DX. I find that DX Summit has good and timely posts 24 hours a day and other sites have same posts for the most part. Sometimes I link Summit to just the bands I need something on, like monitoring 18 or 24mc during the day and 80-30m at night or 60m only, etc. Beats tuning and tuning around so much as we did in the 50s- early 90s before internet spots began. For me that was in about 1998 when I got my first PC.  Again, TU for the info spots or comments.

Just picked up TO0Z (St. Barthelemy Is.) on FT8 Fox/Hound at 18.095.

 

Go get him.
