For several weeks now, 20m has not opened by 1800z in AK. Turn on the radio and can't even receive WWV at 15-MHz. An hour later the band is open. I guess things will improve as the sun rises earlier. Current sunrise is 1810z. 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com "Kits made by KL7UW" Dubus Mag business: dubususa at gmail.com
