I think it's a good idea. I'm always listening for WDX- ...

before i got my driveway widened,the old country store owner gave me permission to park my semi truck beside the store. his wifes aunt lives 2 houses south of the store n she dont like me. about third time i parked i seen note under wiper. it read when you leave go west north east but not by my house it bothers me.
its a 2 lane blacktop many trucks travel at nite. showed note to owner n he tore it up said we always made square deals. anyhow gut has 15 trucks that haul gas flashy trucks stright pipes lottsa chrome. i told 2 o his drivers i went to school with to give her sme jake brake. that was 12 years ago... jake brakes still going on. im happy
I never hear anything on 33 lsb but usb 35 & 40 would work also. Sounds good for a meeting place. Good Luck I will keep my ears open when I can.. You might get a little bleed over on 35 usb, just a thought !
Just made contact with Gus 88XX01 in Habana Cuba! I've spoken to him a handful of times in the past as well. There can't be to many folks on the radio in Cuba, but I've had a few contacts there over the years.......... He's on there calling CQ again as I write this on 27.560 USB if anyone wants to try for Cuba.
I'll be on tomorrow at various times. 36, 37, 39, 40 and up. Hoping to make contact with other WDX'ers.
Fingers crossed for good conditions!

Airwaves are active for sure. Started with Ireland this morning, then Germany, and finished with the Canary Islands. Plenty of state side radios from California to New York as well.
Had my second farthest contact ever yesterday... Paul 43WA145 in Dongara, Western Australia. 14,500 Km from my QTH.
My longest contact was with a different Western Australia station a couple of years ago which was 14,950 Km from me.
Made the contact on 27.560 USB and he was the only station coming in........everyone else had faded out for the day.
Australia is very very common here on the west coast, but it's 99.9% stations in Queensland, NSW, & Victoria. Western Australia is very rare here.

Same here! I've made it to eastern Australia many times, and Tasmania too, but never to the western part.
Congrats!!!
When the band is long, it's long.
I often have difficulty working Nevada , Idaho and Oregon, and Southern California is often a challenge as well.
I need "short skip" conditions to effectively work those places.
Phil in Nevada ( he's now over on the coast) was a rare contact for me, even when we used to do DX contests I think I only had 1 confirmed contact with him.
One thing I can say without a doubt, back when I lived by Bootjack ca, there was times that my little 1/4 wave antenna would work short skip much better than my big ground plane, I believe it was because of the higher angle of radiation with the smaller antenna.
Have fun working DX

colorado,new mexico,montana,wyoming n,s dakota and nebraska ive never been able to hit but can hear them. i say part due to uphill from me and signal hits wrong in those areas. guess its just radioing
Don't feel a lone.I've been hearing but not hitting also for some reason. But still haven't had a lot of time to devote to it. Old man winter will slow me down !
I get better luck with USB on upper channels. Earlier today I got a really good S9+10 contact with someone from South Dakota on 27530 USB.
I have Hawaii coming into the side of my beam. If I turn my beam, it will be pointed at my house, oh well.
