After the ARRL centennial of last year, I think the JA's are the real
experts on all the possible paths to the USA, and every sliver of every
possible opening.

I was especially impressed with their ability to use especially 30M/17M/12M
openings.

I have just recently discovered the 40M opening from east coast of USA to
Asia in our late afternoon. (Frank, I have had some encouragement from Rol
in particular). This is despite me thinking of 40M as my "home stomping
ground" for a third of a century. How did I discover it? In RTTY RU weekend
before last, I called CQ about 4PM in the afternoon, thinking it'll be good
to get some local east coast QSO's in well before the band goes long. And
who called me back before the band went long? JA's did!!!
