If the poster had given his true location, it might just be possible to translate that back to UTC then to my local time so that I might have listen too, but he gave his location as "downsouthsomewhere". Propogation on HF is entirely dependant on the local time at the transmitter and the receiver. Enough said.

Clarification...

Active on 4331 kHz at this time.

Alrighty, to end the debate:

1) I am in the US Eastern time zone. "Downsouthsomewhere" is indeed where I am at.

2) The posts on the forums are timestamped -6 hrs from UTC. So, my post was made on Saturday, 20 SEP 2014 at 2336 Z.

3) I was listening through the http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ receiver, located at PI4THT in Enschede, Neatherlands. You can, too. It's typically within a few mS of real-time.

4) I could not hear the station directly from my location in the US Eastern time zone "down south somewhere," given an a Kenwood TS-450S and 95 ft. folded dipole.

5) They are on RIGHT NOW (25 SEP 2014 at 2014 Z) transmitting CW and identifying as 4XZ. They're pretty strong. Again, I'm receiving through the webSDR receiver in the Netherlands, not from "down south." I'm not currently near my HF station.

Sounds like 4XZ is transmitting on 6824USB. Time 2140z

You can add 21620 kHz to the list. Hearing VVV de 4XZ as well as groups of letters on this frequency via the Twente SDR at 0830 UTC.

What time is "this time"?

Sorry, I hadn't cruised back to the post for quite a while. I had the computer on and was hearing the transmission as I was typing. "At this time" literally meant the time the post was timestamped into the system. If someone was reading and did frequent updates, they might have run across it and been able to tune into the station"at that time."

Some dispatching operations use the phrase a lot because they can abbreviate it as "ATT" in their computer aided dispatch system. It's an old habit.
