Topband: A desert ?

[w8uvz at voyager.net]

Hello Phil etal

My suggestion would be to try later (1030Z
onward) as the propagation seems to inprove for both US and VK stns at
that time.   And I'm sure that Tahiti would have equal
success.

Times closer to US sunrise usually are better (at
least on this end).

Today we are hearing VK3IO and VK3ZL with
excellent sigs and it is 1045Z
