I have what I consider to be very gratifying luck in DX all over the

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?

I've had pretty good results here just using a 70' wire. Sometimes the 200' wire. Over
the years heard quite a few stations 'down there'.

This morning at 1310 WWVH from Hawaii is coming in good on the 70' wire.

Also, as an example, hearing the Australian Northern Territories Service on 2310 and 2485
still in at a good level at 1325 on the 70' wire.



Mostly it's propagation.
