Hi Stephan lighning crash qrm can be very tiring for audible work in summe=
r, though there ARE quieter days. Daytime DX signals are slightly better=
 in summer due to improved daytime skywave. The seasons dont really have=
 that great an effect. I have on one occasion copied VO1NA in daytime in=
 summer and often at good strenth in night-time (QRSS) What will now have=
 a greater effect is the geomagnetic activity levels as the we start to mo=
ve slowly up the next cycle. Of course the big killler is that the all-dar=
kness path is for a much shorter period for most DX paths, so you dont get=
 a second chance like in winter.
