Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Top Ten SSS DX Targets from Mid-South

Yes, these would be good and I'd suggest waiting for early Feb for best chances now.

>From further west check for early appearances of west coast clears. On the rare days when KNX can overpower everything else on the channel prior to LA SS cx usually rock to Calif. KOMO can come in early and if Vancouver's 1130 and 1040 are in prior to their sunset, it generally is a great night for Pac NW SSS stns like those from OR or more rare ones from WA.
