[SECC] [SEDXC] 160M Propagation Tips for the weekend

[k4pi]

Hi Mack, Starting sometime around 01 GMT would work for Idaho as their SS is 
around 0012. And the others a little later.  If you are tight on time just 
wait til around 04 or 05 GMT and all the continental states will be in good. 
KH6 SS is not until around 04 and they will come through anytime after that. 
The KH6 will peak around our SR which is about 12:30 GMT.  The clutter 
clears out a little if you don't mind being up during the early morning 
hours.. 10-12 GMT.  There are a number of programs that will show you the 
darkness/light conditions at every earth location..  DX Atlas is one that I 
like that is free.  Friday night will be feeding frenzy but Sat night things 
will settle down a little bit.
