Maybe we'll have a chance on Mauritania on the west coast this season 
if things get really geomagnetically quiet.   Paradoxically, being 
further south, it seems harder to hear here than the northern 
Europeans, but I guess the Europeans skip through the auroral "donut 
hole" , or are ducted somehow, while west Africans get absorbed by 
the southern edges of the auroral zone.   In the winter of 1996, a 
carrier on 783 was logged here just before the end of that quiet 
period around Christmas, but never since.  Californians might have a 
better chance at it...

best wishes,

Nick
