Hi
Just for your information
on 20th of May 2002 at 1000z
A TN3W (yl op) was 5 x 7 here in VK3
short path an excellent signal but...
the Europeans wouldnt let her go
at 1020z sounded like she had enough and announced
that she was qsying to the 10 meter band ssb.!!!

Ah well, time to go watch tv with the xyl

21st may as announced its 1250 utz and im still listening on 18 mhz

Just proves though depends on  where you are in the pacific basin
as to what you can hear at 1000z

Why??  That is almost the worst possible time for anywhere
in the Pacific:  JA,  KH6, ZL, VK,  or DU !!  1000z is the middle
of the night in the Pacific basin.

1000z is 1 AM in Hawaii!!  And the signals on 17 meters are at or 
near zero microvolts.

Best times seem to be 0400z through 0530z  and the best bands
are 20 meters (best of bunch), 17meters and 15 meters,  at least
all as predicted by W6EL's propagation prediction program.
I could hear TN3W yesterday (2230z)on 18145;  she obviously never
heard me,  as all her returns,  when she was QRZ for 6's and 7's
was to the US mainland,  not Hawaii,  ever.  Why,  again W6EL
program says that mid-day in the Pacific here is not really any
better than the middle of the night.  Above best times are
closer to Pacific evening gray line conditions.   Short path
is near polar, also for Hawaii.

For whatever this info is worth.

Hi,
the hyperlink which has been published by the TN3B/TN3W-pilot
(http://www.ea3bt.com/congo/congo-presentacio.htm) starts with an intro of
some hundred KBs of  sound and digital effects(inspired by George Lucas
?). DXer who have a slow internet-access only or like to get the information
about the DXpedition without that intro-stuff can go directly to
http://www.ea3bt.com/congo/congo-lastnews.htm
