>From San Diego in the 80's I found June was a decent time for SSS DX to the Pacific NW since stations up there were on day rig well past So Cal sunset times.

Subject: [ABDX] Sunset DX during June
In my experience dxing from Northern California 1957-2010 I have found
summer sunset dx, especially in June to be almost useless. I think I
only have a handful of decent summertime sunset catches to show. I
remember barely pulling in Eugene on 1050 from Sacramento once or twice
but not much else. I was browsing through my vacation catches 1979-1984
>from NW Iowa, where a lot of my listening was at sunset. Amazingly I
was able to log these stations between 2000-2400 in June 1984. Sunset
time at Galva was 2100......

In recap I rather feel the midwest is a heck of a lot better sunset time
area to be dxing from than the far west coast. Maybe the next time
around!?!
