Hope springs eternal Gary.

We're in the midst of a geomagnetic upset right now, but it really 
was only a few days ago  (27 April) when I heard JJ stations on 
1269.   I plan to hear one or two more Asiatics as the days continue 
to get longer.   Watch me.   I've developed a tradition of trying to 
hear at least one of the big JJ guns around the summer solstice; 
there's only a few minutes of darkness path, but they are 
possible.   Now, little guns, that would be interesting.   I know I 
heard the NHK2 synchros on 1152 at the solstice (admittedly at the 
coast) before I heard them in the fall or winter months.

best wishes,

Nick
