It is now mid-summer, and most DX activity is concentrated on 20 Meters. The low bands are noisy with weather-related QRN, though 40 is in good shape otherwise. Nighttime MUFs, however, are at their seasonal peaks. At the high end of the solar cycle, July is the trailing end of a spectacular DX season on 15 where signals span both day and night. This year's openings have been very marginal and usually unnoticed.
European openings occur in the afternoon, with Asia later in the evening.
Most of us have written off 15 Meters. WARC band enthusiasts will find better conditions on 17 Meters, and certainly more activity. On 20 Meters, we find the band open nicely to Asia in the morning for several hours. There usually aren't many signals on the band, but the DX stations are often of the exotic variety. Contacts with HS, 9V, V85, BV, VS6, 9M, BY, JT, etc. are routinely worked by those who regularly tune this opening looking for wishful stuff like XX, A5, 9N, XU, S2, XZ, XW, BS7, VU4 and others.
