17 and 20 are now the best bands for daypath work. S.E. Asia is mostly gone, and now favors the east coast where it is more of a polar path. Since the grey line is now almost directly over the pole, we will have narrow pipelines into central Asia in the morning and evening. As the grey line continues to shift, we can expect our main path to the Orient to occur in the early evening. There is news of an operation from Burma, but no specific information about a substantial expedition at this time.
African paths are open for most of the afternoon and into the evening.
Morning DX on 20 now favors Europe, and includes the Middle East. The peak of the window is kinda short, and later in the morning only the loudest Europeans are copyable. As signals fade in the late morning, it is a good idea to move to 17 Meters if you have an antenna there. The heavy action on these bands during contests will be for Caribbean and South American multipliers. 20 now closes well before midnight.
