You might think you are good at monitoring but your reporting is poor. A good report should give the UTC time and the local time, the frequency, the ident of both stations and a bit of the message he/she is sending so it's made more interesting, Most often it's just a check-in by the aircraft into a new zone stating his flight number, altitude, position and then the controller does a selcal check, even if the aircraft is using CPDLC.

If you have UTC time, why would a good report need local time? With UTC, you do not have daylight savings, so you can convert to any time zone you wish.

Because propagation depends on the time of day, dark or light etc. at both ends. I know what my local and UTC times are, but I don't know your local time. If we are both in darkness or on the 'gray line' then reception on the lower frequencies is highly likely, but if you are in broad daylight then reception on the 'in use' frequency may be impossible. Controllers aren't DXers and they are only interested in their 'local' area which is why their frequencies go up and down over the day. Shannon is using 5 and 3MHz frequencies during the night while I am in broad daylight which explains why I can't hear him but I can hear SFO on a much higher frequency.
