I have a question .. not top band related ... almost

but how often did k1n venture into the general portion of the band on
75m, even on 40m ....

I couldn't even make a contact on 20M .... 0UTC and next 2hrs was best
.... according to K6TU propagation ....
corse it would of helped if i had known about them sooner maybe ...

i learned of the group thursday evening ......

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.

Jon,

I was one of the 160 m operators.

NA callers were thick during the evening hours when they were competing with
EU, making for some difficult pile-ups, but after midnight (and EU sunrise),
often there were very few NA callers.
