Simple answer Mack is from their sunset to our sunrise. Hawaii is probably best worked around 6 AM local time. The other three will be workable all night long, but the QRM will be ferocious!

Subject: [SECC] 160M Propagation Tips for the weekend

I’m fairly new to contesting on 160M (two years) and would like your tips on how the propagation is this time of year for the ARRL 160M CW Contest.

I need 4 states to WAS on 160M. Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming. When is the optimal time during the evening to work these states?

Thanks in advance for any tips.
