Re: [IRCA] Daytime DX

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm. I recall building a Sanserino loop for a friend on a July 
afternoon.   When I tested it, I nearly kept it, because CBK-540 was 
coming in really well at 2pm local time, 7 hours before sunset, and 
about five  before Regina's.  Then I discovered that my own antennas 
could do it too.

Midwinter mornings can be a real kick here as well, as stations from 
the north can sometimes be heard at serious distance; no interference 
from the south.   That may not be as helpful for you though Les, as 
much of your interference is to the north also.

best wishes,

Nick
