I have what I consider to be very gratifying luck in DX all over the
shortwave dial save the 120 meter band. On nights when I know prop is
good, I'll run that band several times between dusk and 0700 UTC -
nada. I have yet to make a single catch there. I know most
international broadcasters have abandoned it, and only a few little
countries still use it a lot (N. Korea for example), but save a weak
and scratchy WWV at 2500, not a thing. Anyone have better luck with
it, or suggestions?

It's been a long time since I can remember there being very much on this
band, and it was never as widely used as the other tropical bands.

There's little advantage to using it. Propagation is almost exactly the
same as the BCB, so why not just broadcast there?

Another factor was that table radios with shortwave almost never tuned this
band. The bands were usually BCB and SW from 5 or 6 to 18 Mhz.
