With so many reports from the West Coast, I'm forwarding some East Coast coverage from two of our more active DXers, Roy Barstow and Bruce Conti.
At the beach Roy is hearing stuff beyond just the routine big-gun TA's an hour pre-sunset and a half hour before anything interesting shows up here. This is consistent with what I note on seashore DXpeditions: usable DX at least an hour earlier than when any second-tier type stuff starts showing up even just 10 miles inland.
Roy is using a SuperLoop 6 ft. vertical by 12 ft. horizontal with about 15 dB amplifier gain. I wonder what size DKAZ that would equate to in low band sensitivity.
In a few days I'll have some of my own stuff up as well.
Then there will be logs from the NJ and PEI DXpeditions before long. Not sure what's scheduled for Newfie 2018 activity. DXers can follow day to day logs up that way via Allen Willie's Facebook postings. Sylvain Naud in eastern Quebec has also been getting active.
