I've Got to Find A Better Method!
This is definitely the way to fly when you have a short intense opening such as an hour before to an hour after sunset here on the East Coast or the similar situation around sunrise on the West Coast.

Newfoundland Ultra-Light Trans- Atlantics Report Oct...
Typically Radio Farda UAE on 1575 is the farthest barefoot ultralight reception I can manage. Heavy slop-over from 1560 WQEW (R. Disney) NY makes 1566 India extremely difficult here in the Boston area

Mark Connelly's Valuable Information
Gary, I would say that some of your "down condition" comments apply here on the East Coast too. October isn't sounding a heck of a lot better than August this year. With a few exceptions such as 1530,

Richard, I think your guesses at the TA'a are correct except for << 1062 unID, (TUR?) 0406, het. >> This is far more likely to be Denmark which is often huge here on the East Coast at that time. Mark

Just a short ride from my main location at Billerica, MA (15 miles inland) out to a shore site makes a huge difference. At Granite Pier in Rockport, MA, Saudi 1521 demolishes WWKB most early evenings,

I think salt water is the magic bullet. This works similarly along the Massachusetts coast with TA signals much easier to hear than anything west of Chicago. A few miles inland, most of the Europe, Mi
