[IRCA] New Member Questions

[C & T Dorn <cdorn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've been lurking here for a few days. Seems like a fairly serious 
business, this MWDXing. I take it one must be morning person in a big 
way to hear some of these interesting signals. Before I begin changing 
my sleep patterns, I wonder what I might reasonably expect given my 
location and setup? I'm located near Edmonton, AB, in Western Canada. My 
radio is a Drake SPR-4, and my antenna a single homebrew K9AY loop, 
roughly oriented ESE/WNW. I do OK on the tropical bands with this, with 
Africans and South Pacific. As far as MW, I haven't heard too many 
exotic things. It would be fun to log some Alaskans or Hawaii. Anyone in 
these parts have some tips - things to hunt for? Seems like the TPs are 
predictably happening way on the West Coast.

Cheers,
Chris VE6RDC
