[IRCA] TA DXing from Southeast

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never attempted any Trans-Atlantic DXing from my home here in the 
Southeastern US...and have only received a handful of foreign stations 
on MW. Mostly in the Caribbean, and South America. But after reading 
about DX'ers as far inland as Oklahoma having some success with TA 
receptions--I'm wondering if I dismissed this too quickly?

Lots of questions:

1.) Is it possible or likely that I could receive TA's here in Central 
Alabama?

2.) What would be the best target stations to start with? I'm assuming 
that Radio Farda 1575 might be a good one? What others?

3.) Best time of day to start looking for them?

4.) Optimum mode and bandwidth to look using an SDR-IQ?

Any other advice for someone brand-new to the effort?
