Topband: K1N 5,399 q's on 160 M

[Charlie Cunningham]

Jon,

If you haven't already, check this app out!  It was just great figuring out
time slots to try the various bands  for the K1N expedition!  It's a VERY
useful tool for DXers - especially low-band DXers!  Sure beats the old
plastic "DX Edge" that we used in the old days. Very useful for looking at
the gray-line (terminator ) as it changes daily throughout the year and
watching  in real  time as the sun and daylight and darkness move over a
Mercator projection of a map of the earth. Try it! You'll like it!!  Enjoy!

73,
Charlie, K4OTV

George:
 
Thanks for the note. All the K1N ops did an outstanding job !
 
That is an excellent tip re. getting on after European sunrise and before JA
sunset for DXpeditions on the low bands. 
 
I got up a number of nights ~ 2 am - 4 am CST to try for K1N. I was
successful on 40 and 80 meters with K1N during this time slot.
