That is just above the MW (AM) broadcast band! So expect propagation
characteristics to be best during night time hours with possible
interesting
propagation occurring within the half hours before and after your local
sunset and sunrise times.


Also known as "gray line propagation", when the terminator passes over
your location. And yes, it really does work. I qso'ed Hawaii from
Michigan on 160 a few times via gray line...


At what time would both Hawaii and Michigan be on the grey line?


During the next pole shift!
