[IRCA] Winter Solstice approaching

["Tom Jasinski" <amdxer@xxxxxxxx>]

The Winter Solstice is approaching, now less than a week away.  During this
time of short daylight, with low sunspot activity can provide some great
daytime receptions.  Some of my best receptions at high noon around the
solstice are on 1030khz.  During the last sunspot minimum I had KTWO, WBZ
and WWGB fading in and out with each other at noon with semilocal WNVR
nulled!  Also in the past on 870, WWL has been heard with armchair levels at
high noon.  So, during the next two weeks do a few day time bandscans and
see what you can hear.  For the last two hours I have had WMQM 1600 with
gospel music clobbering WCGO, while not earth shattering, is a sign of good
daytime skip.  The further north you are located the better your chances of
some good daytime activity.
