Testing with QRSS30 is more realistic if the path is a contender for trying a two-way QSO. > ....

While I would take note of measured data, in the mean time my own opinion is that the LF QRN in ZL does not vary much with season, and that there can be low or high QRN nights any time of the year. What I would look for is the maximum duration dark path and that needs further study. It would be nice to have some software that calculated the duration rather than induvidual sunset and sunrise times. Nothing seen last night, and I'm away from home for the next two nights. When I say "night", it is the ZL early evening, so is fairly easy to arrange for monitoring DX signals coming from an easterly quarter. Monitoring signals from a westerly quarter are the "dawn breakers". 73, Bob ZL2CA
