I took out my DX edge (el cheapo Geochron) to check the length of darkness
for the path from the NW to VK and ZL. From August through November the
time of common darkness for the VK path is about seven hours and the ZL path
about 8 hours, give or take. Larry's (WH2XGP) reception in ZL and my
(XSH/20) reception in VK occurred roughly 6 hours after their local sunsets.
So it's possible we might see more receptions over the next couple of
months.
Of course the joker in the deck will be QRN. Our levels should be falling
but theirs will be rising which may kill the deal. I'm going to keep
transmitting every night possible for the foreseeable future.
73, Rudy
