Congratulations Tim in MI on the Down Unders, also congrats to Kaz in IL.
This makes me wonder about these stations making it another 700-1000 miles to MA, NH, ME, PEI etc.
If I don't get them, maybe Bruce Conti in NH has a shot or perhaps they reach the PEI or Lubec, ME DXpedition sites where better antennas would be in use.
Sunrise DX here, in the few times I've done it, has been unproductive so far. Mostly domestics and Cubans. 870 WWL, 1120 KMOX, and 1540 KXEL are about as far west as I can hear (+ a couple of Texas stations in the above 1610 stretch).

Thanks, Chuck. Hearing that fanfare is like a DX adrenaline rush and I
never get tired of hearing it!
I wondered about the time pips too. Signals were good yesterday morning at
TOH and I noticed not all of the ABC stations used time pips.
