Just a few minutes after sending my post about 80 meters sigs, I am now hearing a few EU stations now on 160, one hour before my SS here in Arkansas.

Hope this holds up!!

The K3LR 160 Skimmer just heard HA0NAR at 2014Z. That is one hour and 45
minutes before sunset at K3LR.

Yes, only 3 dB above the noise floor - but still - this very early in the
day to hear anything from EU.



Using a HIZ 8 circle in phase (500 ft separation) with a HIZ 4 square -
broadside to Europe. RX is a Perseus SDR.



You can see the K3LR Skimmer output here:

K3LR 40 meters is off line for maintenance - but will return this evening



Happy New Year
