1st DX with Poland!
Just worked my 1st Polish station with VarAC. DX of any kind here on the west coast is hard to come by for me. The QSO was on 10. I was running 100W to a vertical.

You're right. The grey line usually works well in the evening too. I've had luck working South America, Africa (once) and several European countries. This DX was often made doing FT4/FT8, and occasionally JS8 with JS8CALL. My biggest problem is that I'm retired, and seldom are in the shack before 9 AM PDT, which is past grey line (GRIN).
