Heard ZLM with WX on USB at about an S2-S3 at my location. I've listened for this one before but never had any success picking it up until today. Great to have another propagation indicator from down under.

Right now conditions are weird for many different bands because we're in a transition season from fall to winter and at this particular lowpoint of the solar cycle. Now is the time to look for stuff you might not hear the rest of the year, especially with respect towards greyline dxing.

Great to know! I've had more success with greyline in the morning local vs evening (when a neighbor presumably with a plasma usually switches it on where it stays until late evening though i've been somewhat successful nulling that with my loop).
