Back to Rogers point, which is based on working to the west, Its also a
factor, given the 4 or 5 hour time difference, the middle of the night EU
time, catches the folk to the West, who might be doing before going QRT for the
evening... folk still have to work, so its the lucky few who will be able to
stay up to EU sunrise.. weekends or contest excepting....When I've been QRV
from the West, I've tried to make a point to be on at my sunset, and never fail
to work into EU (PZ5K was my last excursion)... 73 Dave G3NKC Sent from my

Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity Night The best propagation to Europe seems to
be from about 5 – 15 minutes past my sunrise in the summer time.To NA, I
usually see a peak at or after their sunrise. I’ve not been following that much
past their East Coast, as it gets very late here in the summer, along with
varying levels of summer storm static in our evenings.73, Luke VK3HJSent from

Peak these daysVirtually all of the good DX I've worked on 160, 80, and 40 has
been in the daylight side of the terminator at one end or the other of the QSO.
