This week's path projections are from Thailand to Hawaii, Minneapolis and Boston. To Hawaii, 80 meters should be good from 1100 to 1700z, and 40 meters from 1030 to 1800. 30 meters should be open from 1000 to 1830, and 20 meters from 0700 to 1400 and again around 1730 to 1930. Check 17 meters around 1800 to 1830 and 2300 to 0800. 15 meters should be good from 2330 to 0700, 12 meters from 0000 to 0600 and 10 meters from 0030 to 0530. To Minneapolis, 40 meters should be open from 1130 to 1300z, and 30 meters from 1300 to 1500. 20 meters should be open from 1530 to 2000, and 17 meters around 1800. To Boston, check 40 meters around 2230 to 2330z, and 30 meters from 2100 to 0000. Try 20 meters from 1300 to 2030. NNNN /EX
