ChatGPT: Certainly! Here's a list of some desirable DX stations for the upcoming month, along with expected modes, frequencies, and times:

VK9XX (Christmas Island)
Mode: SSB (Voice)
Frequency: 14.200 MHz
Time: 08:00 - 10:00 UTC

5T5XX (Mauritania)
Mode: CW (Morse Code)
Frequency: 21.050 MHz
Time: 13:00 - 15:00 UTC

VP6XX (Pitcairn Island)
Mode: FT8 (Digital)
Frequency: 18.100 MHz
Time: 02:00 - 04:00 UTC

3B7XX (Agalega & St. Brandon Islands)
Mode: RTTY (Digital)
Frequency: 28.080 MHz
Time: 17:00 - 19:00 UTC

T31XX (Central Kiribati)
Mode: SSB (Voice)
Frequency: 7.180 MHz
Time: 04:00 - 06:00 UTC

VU7XX (Lakshadweep Islands)
Mode: CW (Morse Code)
Frequency: 10.110 MHz
Time: 11:00 - 13:00 UTC

FT5XX (Amsterdam Island)
Mode: FT8 (Digital)
Frequency: 21.074 MHz
Time: 14:00 - 16:00 UTC

T33XX (Banaba Island)
Mode: SSB (Voice)
Frequency: 18.130 MHz
Time: 01:00 - 03:00 UTC

KH1XX (Baker Island)
Mode: CW (Morse Code)
Frequency: 14.025 MHz
Time: 06:00 - 08:00 UTC

FT8XX (Falkland Islands)
Mode: FT8 (Digital)
Frequency: 10.136 MHz
Time: 19:00 - 21:00 UTC

These stations are selected based on their rarity and anticipated activity in the coming month. Remember to check propagation conditions and monitor the specified frequencies and times for the best chance of making successful DX contacts. Good luck!
Interesting, though I'd also like to know how did ChatGPT compile this list. I wonder where and what was consulted and how was the ranking decided?
Have Fun! Get DXing!

Next, I added "for North America" to the request.
ChatGPT answered with a very different list:
Most Desirable DX Stations for the Next Month (North America)
1. Station: ZL (New Zealand)

Expected Modes: SSB (Voice), FT8 (Digital)
Frequencies: 20 meters (14.074 MHz FT8, 14.200 MHz SSB)
Times: During the gray-line propagation hours, especially around sunrise and sunset in North America.

2. Station: VK (Australia)

Expected Modes: CW (Morse Code), JT65 (Digital)
Frequencies: 20 meters (14.030 MHz CW, 14.076 MHz JT65)
Times: Best chances during the early morning and late evening hours in North America.

3. Station: JD1 (Minami Torishima)

Expected Modes: CW, SSB
Frequencies: 17 meters (18.080 MHz CW, 18.150 MHz SSB)
Times: Look for openings during the late afternoon and early evening hours in North America.

4. Station: VP8 (Falkland Islands)

Expected Modes: SSB, FT8
Frequencies: 20 meters (14.210 MHz SSB, 14.074 MHz FT8)
Times: Keep an eye out during the late morning and early afternoon hours in North America.

5. Station: 3D2 (Fiji)

Expected Modes: CW, RTTY
Frequencies: 15 meters (21.030 MHz CW, 21.080 MHz RTTY)
Times: Opportunities may arise during the afternoon hours, especially towards the latter part of the month.

6. Station: A7 (Qatar)

Expected Modes: SSB, PSK31
Frequencies: 20 meters (14.250 MHz SSB, 14.070 MHz PSK31)
Times: Look for openings during the late afternoon and early evening hours, with possible sporadic openings during other times.

7. Station: VU (India)

Expected Modes: SSB, FT8
Frequencies: 20 meters (14.225 MHz SSB, 14.074 MHz FT8)
Times: Best chances during the late morning and early afternoon hours in North America.

8. Station: E51 (Cook Islands)

Expected Modes: CW, JT9
Frequencies: 17 meters (18.085 MHz CW, 18.098 MHz JT9)
Times: Look for openings during the late afternoon and early evening hours, especially towards the end of the month.

9. Station: 5T (Mauritania)

Expected Modes: SSB, FT8
Frequencies: 20 meters (14.190 MHz SSB, 14.074 MHz FT8)
Times: Keep an eye out during the late morning and early afternoon hours, with sporadic openings during other times.

10. Station: ZS (South Africa)

Expected Modes: SSB, PSK63
Frequencies: 20 meters (14.225 MHz SSB, 14.080 MHz PSK63)
Times: Best chances during the late morning and early afternoon hours in North America.

Note: DX propagation conditions can vary due to solar activity, geomagnetic disturbances, and other factors. Monitor propagation prediction tools and keep an eye on DX clusters for real-time updates on active DX stations.
Go figure! While ChatGPT may not have the answer to "The Maiden's Prayer", IMHO it comes up with some useful suggestions?
