For unknown reasons 1521 has never been a big player here in southern
Alberta. The only time I've heard it was in the glory days of
2009. I've certainly tried many times when I've read about it doing
so well further east, but generally I either hear a very feeble carrier,
or none at all.

For the northwest people there is a semi-local or two on 1520, Mark,
and usually by the time we hear TA's fade in, there's lots of skywave
to wreak havoc as well. When I've checked, there's never been a
carrier, but I probably should ignore the sense of futility and check
more!
What do the Alberta guys say?

Why not Benin for 1566? Or, for that matter, UK?
I'm surprised that the western TA reports aren't mentioning the 1521
Saudi.
I heard them in 1986 from El Paso, TX (Residence Inn near airport) on
a Sony '2010 with then-KOMA 1520 nulled.
1521 starts peeling the paint off the wall this time of year here in
MA. Often the loudest TA and frequently good 2+ hours pre-sunset at
beach sites.

Never checked until late because of earlier arrangements, but TAs
were in
here too. Many frequencies showed faint carriers. Poor audio on 1215 and
1566 only. 1215 was probably the UK, but I don't know who was on 1566
as I
have never logged a TA here, but could have been Iran.
