The Bands Are Exploding!
f you haven’t been on the air much over the past couple of months, you might want to think about checking the bands, especially the higher HF bands. I have never been much of a propagation scientist. I follow the same rule as when you hang a rock outside your back porch. If it is wet, it is raining. If it is swaying, it is windy, and so on. So, when I turn on the radio, if the band is open, I will hear DX. Here on the east coast, conditions have been extraordinary. Frequent openings into Asia and the Pacific in the late afternoon and evening have been happening, not every day, but more often than not.
