I'm not currently scanning six or ten,,, What's best Time of Day to come out here and check them out?

I do know when you get a band opening it can be impressive.

Had a bit of fun the last few days.. There is an IRLP repeater near me (Article on IRLP that appeared in Escapees ham radio news letter available upon request of moderator) and when I linked to the Western Reflector over in Lost Wages, NV, there was another ham who linked in from N.Queensland, Australia. Not bad for a UHF radio contact

Well...Last night I"m chatting with another computer users I often exchange forum posts with (Different forums) who is also in Australia.. Though not North (Or south) Queensland. Temps down there per the weather wiget he sent us are in the 80-110 range (That's "F") in case anyone wishes to visit him.
