Hi Dave,
And here in the midwest (Indiana) it was really dead early this morning an
hour or two before EU sunrise. I spotted DL5AXX who was peaking 6 dB above
my noise floor at most at 0623 UTC, and no other EU stations heard as I
recall, it was just dead.

Hi Guy,
Some of it is high ground penetration on low frequencies. Dipole
height above 'real conducting' ground can be a lot in some locations

I don’t at all doubt Roger’s reports. The grind comes when others
attempting Roger's successful methods report terrible results. There is
clearly something going on not at all well understood.
There are some number of reasons why it is nearly impossible to draw
universally reproducible conclusions
Hi all -
Just an update on the spur from KOPB's spur on 1836-1837 kHz. It appears
to be fixed. I was hearing it last last week, but hadn't heard it for a
few nights in a row. I checked in with the station engineer and they then
advised that they were able to hear the signal just as described, a
Here in Florida in the evenings we get a fairly consistent opening to
Europe it begins about 1 hour BEFORE local Sunset (2215Z) , Peaks about
1/2 hour before Sunset and then all but dies out on most nights by 15min
after official sunset. Later around 0200Z things slowly build back up
till aroun
Nothing wrong with conditions. Yesterday afternoon I worked K9FD in Hawaii and
this morning the west coast and WL7SJ.
Good propagation to Japan also.

Well Bob my own experience these days when working NA stations is that the
peak occurs at least 3 hours after Sunset and at least 3 hours before
Sunrise. (and that is obviously not a Tropical path)
Years ago there was definitely a peak both at their Sunset and our Sunrise,
typically around 10dB
Band opening times.Roger G3YRO recent comments on band openings got me thinking
about my experiences many years ago:
Sunrise and Sunset band path propagation enhancement has been well reported
over many years to the point ITU says it can be 6-10dBs.When operating from
tropical latitudes I used
