----------------------- I agree 100%. I've never put much store in prediction programs. (Too often the sun is shining outside my window on the days heavy rain is forecast.) I listen too. And if I'm curious and not hearing much, that's when I use the NCDXF/IARU beacons I mentioned before on the major DX bands (20 through 10 meters). In a minute or so I can listen for signals from all around the world and hear for myself how strong they are. Works FB when I'm too lazy to twist the tuning knob <G>. But nothing beats tuning around, or the thrill of hearing (or being called by DX) on an otherwise dead band.
