The earliest I have heard a TA was in the mid 90s when I logged Germany on 972. As I remember Norway 1314 was also in. It was about UTC. I was using 800' Northern beverage. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Pat: Several years ago I heard Norway on 1314 well over an hour before local sunset here. Throughout January and December local sunset is shortly after 16:00 MDT or 23:00UTC, so I was hearing Kvitsoy around 22:00.

Mike, When I lived in Seward AK in the 60s, TAs could be logged all day. There was a DXer in Palmer AK that heard all of Europe, half of Africa, and the ME all day in the Winter in the 50s/60s. But I am not sure if you would consider DX from that far North technically a TA. I was a beginner at the time and he was much older and told me of all the TA DX to heard in letters. Amazing stuff, but much of the Winter was mostly darkness too. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] JOUB 774 fair @ 0942
Yeah you're right there Pat. The further north one goes, the longer the TA window is open. I remember Brian Vernon's reports from the 70's or 80's when he was working up in the Yukon at a mine there, of TA's and TP's he could hear 24/7. As you say, amazing stuff. Even on the shortest day of the year, we still have around 7 hours where the sun is above the horizon here. Even so, some of the stations I can hear 24/7 is still pretty amazing. KSL at over 1000 miles for example.

Mike, Yes, I remember the reports from Brian Vernon. Do you know what happened to him? I have not heard anything about him in years. In Seward AK, we had 5 hr 28 min of daylight in the mid Winter. Germany 1586 (now 1593) was common up there in the Winter. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

His reports just stopped and I never heard any more. Does anyone know?
