Hi Michael,
I concur with Mark Connelly, the best time to check for TA signals is in the hour before and after local dawn. You will hear some in the late evenings as east coast Canada and US enter darkness but the dawn openings are more fruitful with mainland Europe being in sunlight and everything west still being in darkness.
Newfoundland is the easiest area to hear with receptions this time of year from about 8pm local until an hour after dawn, conditions allowing.
Heres a list of TA's that I have heard on a barefoot ultralight, might be of some use to you in terms of targets. I've heard a few Caribbean and South American signals as well but the following are the meat of whats been heard. Maybe two dozen others were heard with an ultralight and an external antenna.
