So give us a call on topband, we are every night from our sunset on 160m.
Thanks Andy.
BUT -- remember that propagation into darkness peaks for as 30-45
minutes on the DAYLIGHT side of the terminator! Waiting until darkess
misses good propagation, and so does quitting at the first sign of
daylight in the morning! On 80M, it's about one hour, on 40M its about
two hours. I have many times been frustrated by expedition operators who
don't understand this, and change bands just when their signal to me is
about to build!
