Matt, if you can operate during the daytime hours, you might try 15, 12 and 
10 meters. 17 meters, my favorite band, though I don't get a chance to 
operate it anymore, is also a good choice. 73. Doug, N6NFF

Hi, Doug.  Looking forward to more DX contacts.  What are the best
bands besides 20 meters for doing this?--Matt, N1IBB.
