Nick,
I always thought I'd have a good shot at northerly stations in June but
I just have dead sky wave most of the times I tried. I looked back over
my logs going all the way back to 1957. June was an almost total
bummer. In 69 & 76 I did add a couple stations in June at SSS but most
years were duds. July however was much better and August started to get
some great SSS skywave leading up to Sep & Nov.
My logs from the midwest 1979-84 where I dxed mostly at sunset show that
the heartland is a super place for a domestic dxer at sunset.

Very interesting Kaz! I'll have to go back over my California logs to see if I
know what I'm talking about. My memory tells me that everytime I tried at sunset
in June & July and sky wave signals didn't even start coming in until almost
2030 which was the time No. Calif. dropped power.
The DX gods may not be kind to the San Francisco DXer, Don. Although I don't
do much domestic DX, the first time I heard Whitehorse on 570 was in June, and
it does seem that northerly stations might have a bit of an edge down here near
the US border, at least once sunset finally arrives there.
