Re: [IRCA] Polar Night?

Could one possibility in the northeast be gray line, mid December around 2130UT Mark? I guess you personally would be looking through WRKO and maybe CFTR, but an awful lot of the other interferers would still be in broad daylight.
Never say never, said he hopefully. And , no, I've never heard them, and I'm a lot closer. 

best wishes,

Nick
As far as KBRW 680 ever getting here to MA, the chances are "nil to zip". Even if it was a DX test with code and sweep tones or the station drifted a kHz or so off channel, it would have to battle through WRKO, WAPA, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, WPTF, WCBM, CFTR, Brazil, and probably some others. Norway, although on the other side of the "pond", can take advantage of lengthy polar darkness and the "doughnut hole" as well as much greater separation from interferers that are breathing down our neck on this end.

For KIYU though, read Europe as Lapland. Very rare outside northernmost
Europe.
