TA's in the Northwest tend to be more Trans Arctic, hence the dominance of 
Norway.  Years ago, I was more likely to hear Turkey than Spain for 
example.  Having said that, when things got really quiet in late 1997, a 
carrier turned up on 783 which looped towards Mauritania, just a short time 
before the inevitable geomagnetic storm wiped everything out.

783 might be a better bet in California with the more southerly path 
though.  Sure is a regular out Massachusetts way from what I recall from 
working there....

keep looking for this one; if you can hang in to 1230UT, they send their 
directional signal to Japan and thence to North America; you might be in 
the lobe a bit.  You can certainly hear the boost here.
