Re: [IRCA] Japan in New Jersey on 747

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Willis I beg to differ..at 1022z (GMT UTC London's winter time or whatever 
you want to call it) the sun is long down in Japan this time of year and the 
path is in full darkness and mostly arctic.

The time is very late for Europe, or Canaries 747 or Azores 693.

I suggest phasing WSB to help log Japan.... 73 KAZ
