Autumn Condition 2010

It seems to begin Autumn DX season. From the end of September, condition of propagation changes.

Now my operation style is, on 1000-1200JST(+9UT) for North America 20m band and at this time occasionally opens 17m band, 1600-1800 for Europe 15m band, 2000-2200 for North America 40m band.

30m band opens later about 0600-0700 for Europe and more DX, Africa or Atlantic.

Often early morning in gray zone times, 80m band begins to open DX, for example, VK, OH, etc.
