Fer cryin out loud, winter just started a few days ago. DX is simply
DIFFERENT. I even notice the pattern of TAs has changed - lot of days when
not even a het at sunset, followed by a slow rise and enough IDable audio
on some channels that were not so good when the "DX Season" was in full
swing.
I agree that cx to the west at sunset and sunrise are nowhere what they
were in October. But I am - up until a few days ago when I returned to
Toronto - getting stuff I wasn't getting in October.
My best opening domestically was last March, when I had Alberta at five or
six places on the dial...plus more form out west.

Colin,
DX last night was nothing exciting even though the A&K is low. Hopefully
things will improve, but we are in the mid Winter period when often DX
conditions are poor.
Merry Christmas and the best to you in the New Year.
73,
Patrick
