![]() "Tony Meloche" wrote in message ... I have what I consider to be very gratifying luck in DX all over the shortwave dial save the 120 meter band. On nights when I know prop is good, I'll run that band several times between dusk and 0700 UTC - nada. I have yet to make a single catch there. I know most international broadcasters have abandoned it, and only a few little countries still use it a lot (N. Korea for example), but save a weak and scratchy WWV at 2500, not a thing. Anyone have better luck with it, or suggestions? Tony What kind of antenna are you using? It will require an outstanding 120 meter antenna to get much. The wavelength is so long that is will be uncommon to get distant stations like N. Korea. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
