[OKDXA] Need Some 160 m Advice

[Kim Elmore]

I'm finding that trying to hear spots on 160 m is deeply frustrating. Do 
I need to stay up later? I usually pack it in around 10:00-10:30, but 
maybe that's too early. Or, maybe I need to be up sooner? I'm just not 
hearin' 'em! I have K9AY loops for rx and they sometimes help, sometimes 
don't, but they never make things worse. My radio environment is quiet, 
so it's not that. If I can't hear 'em I certainly can't work 'em.

Any hints?

73,
