[IRCA] Sunset DX during June

["Donald K. Kaskey" <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

In my experience dxing from Northern California 1957-2010 I have found 
summer sunset dx, especially in June to be almost useless.  I think I 
only have a handful of decent summertime sunset catches to show.  I 
remember barely pulling in Eugene on 1050 from Sacramento once or twice 
but not much else.  I was browsing through my vacation catches 1979-1984 
from NW Iowa, where a lot of my listening was at sunset.  Amazingly I 
was able to log these stations between 2000-2400 in June 1984.  Sunset 
time at Galva was 2100......

In recap I rather feel the midwest is a heck of a lot better sunset time 
area to be dxing from than the far west coast.  Maybe the next time 
around!?!
