- Since no one else appears to have posted a reply, I will offer my thoughts
- in the hope that it might help you somewhat.
-
- My advice for this short haul, especially at night, would be 80m, hands down.
- You would most likely still copy W1AW quite well at this range on 40m but
- skip tends to lengthen out on that band at night, while 80m will usually
- provide good coverage from local stations on out to several hundred or
- even several thousand miles (depending on propagation).

- 73 and Good Luck,
