Tnx for the heads-up.
Will check it out Tuesday Ayem

Be on the lookout for the EuroAMers around there -- the band has been carrying long you may already know.

Euros at 4:30 AM EST?  That would be 9:30 AM in UK and 10:30 AM on the continent, too late in the day for transatlantic propagation on 80m.  More likely to be heard around 0430 GMT, which would be 11:30 PM EST. I have worked Jean, F6AQK many times around 0500 GMT.

At 4:30 AM, you would be more likely to work Hawaii, VK/ZL or Japan on 80m.

That is pretty late for EU but I've worked the UK numerous times just a few minutes before 0900Z, but only in the winter months.

Sunset in HI this time of year is around 0400Z (11 PM ET). JA would be about 0800-0900Z (3-4 AM ET).

Thats correct!
Just after 05.00 GMT (often) AM between: 3705 - 3710

Mostly between 3707 - 3710 khz.
Becourse the heavy splattering from SSB on 3703...
We qsy-ing mostly a little up!

But are often AM stations from the usa using 3725 (and 3733 khz)?
If yes, I can monitoring those freq. between 5.10 - +/- 5.50 GMT.
