Somebody from Las Vegas worked a station in Johannesburg as soon as I finished my QSO. I made it just before sunrise in ZS...one of the comments was that the ZS op already had his first cup of coffee, and it was still dark there. Maybe the Rockies are blocking the path....8-) Quite few spanish, french, italian and german stations can be heard as soon as the sun goes down here. The sun sets 3 hours later in California. And it is true that many of them vanish after their midnight, as in the Cinderella tale. Those are their sleeping hours, some nine hours different from those in the West Coast. Maybe the chinese woodpecker is obliterating them too in California... 73 de Jose, CO2JA
