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?

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.

I've heard N.Korea on the DX394 on 600ft. of wire. :-P
