One thing I really like about this time of year is that Iceland-189 can be heard as late as 1115-1130 UTC. At this late hour, there is still a path of darkness between Iceland and North America. It's fun to listen to a LW TA while getting ready for work in the morning. This morning, Dec 8, Iceland-189 was in with a decent signal with news by man & woman in Icelandic from 1100-1109 UTC. By 1115 UTC the signal was completely gone. As we approach the Soltice, the signal should stay in a little longer. According to GEOCLOCK, sunrise at the transmitter site near Gufuskalar is around 1105 UTC for this date.
