49 meters opened to Europe and further before 2 pm (1800z) yesterday. I love winter propagation, the D layer is much less of a problem.

Yep, the neat thing about 49m is it's always open somewhere.

I find just around sunrise is an excellent time, often the band is wall to wall signals. Of course half of them are China.
