[WVDXA] Working 4X on 160/W8TN Ramblings

[k8oql at citlink.net]

When to work 4X on 160? There are a handful of 4X's on 160. Might
want to try CQ WW 160 CW Contest last full weekend in January.

I've had success workng 4X in March around the Equinox (about 21
March). Equal Day=Night, world-wide propagation conditions nearly
the same everywhere.

Currently, 4X Sunrise is 0439Z or 2339 EST. There should be a peak
in signals on 160/80 about +/- 30 minutes of 4X Sunrise. This is
short path.

Best thing to do is watch DX spotting network to see who might
be on-the-air from 4X.

W8TN site very informative and well-done.

I'm off to 4X with Hal's group. Get back just in time to miss
CQ WW 160. No Big Thing.
