If you have a directional antenna point it toward the north pole and put on the headphones.

4. At about what frequencies?

HF = ?????

[NNN0LHI]

7. 10, 11(?), 12, 15, 17, meters are about the best

Kind of hard to receive the stuff sometimes. The voices of the other operators may be very raspy sounding, and the contact may only last a few seconds. Just long enough to exchange calls sometimes. It kind of "seems" like all the signals from all over the world congregate above the north pole or something? Its kind of strange.
