Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] All-day DX

["Tom Jasinski" <amdxer@xxxxxxxx>]

As we approach the winter solstice, now less than a month away, there will
be increased opportunities for daylight DX such as that listed below.
Sunrise conditions will linger longer and sunset CX will begin earlier in
the day.  And the further north you are the better the conditions will get.
With sunspot cycle nearing the low point it should open up some very good
daylight DX.  So for the DX'ers new to the hobby try and take advantage of
this once a year phenomeon.
