Hello Miles,
Please add to the long list of advise:
1. Use propagation prediction program to see when and what frequency the DX
station is the loudest. Such as W6EL's
2. See if you have propagation to the dx station when competition is low.
Such as 5:00 a.m.
3. I worked 3B6RF on three bands (CW) using IC-735 (less than 100W output)
to a multi band (AV-640) vertical. Propagation in Florida was such that I
could not hear any of the stations the 3B6RF worked. Increase your luck by
doing items 1 and 2.
4. Don't give up, you will get it on every band you have antenna for.
73s best dx
