Re: [IRCA] Ultralight DX Logs....2 New Stations

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

I agree that (at least for me) DX has been slowing down since DST
started.  Here is my uneducated opinion as to why.  LSS is now after
2000 EDT here - most talk style and sports stations in the US have
already switched to national / syndicated programming and they may only
ID once or twice an hour.  I have to wait longer to get an ID, whereas
if it were earlier they would probably run more local programming and ds
making it much easier to DX.  I have been working until 1900 EDT so I
missed out on the better DX conditions (local programming and such)
before DST started.

Greetings Rob

I?m going to ask a dumb question. You write

>but things have been slowing down since
>the Daylight Saving Time switchover!!

Why?

It?s been two weeks since the switchover. I realize that the days are
getting longer. Does only a minutes per day make that much of a
difference
in the short run?

Good luck on the 450.
