Richard and Bill, Sunrise enhancement isn't always guaranteed, even here on the west coast. What we usually have during the TP-DX season is somewhat boosted transoceanic reception starting at the first sign of daylight, and continuing for different durations, occasionally until bright sunshine is in effect (on the best days).
Sunrise enhancement at the inland home locations of the west coast TP-DXers is rarely as good as what is possible on the ocean coast, where it can continue for two hours or more (especially during exceptional conditions). The Victoria DXers' version of sunrise enhancement also seems to be more generous and longer-lasting than the Puyallup version, presumably because of their proximity to salt water. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Block" <[email protected]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2016 2:16:57 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-20 Richard, here in Arizona I have had no sunrise boost this year at all. In most years I do get the sunrise boost and at times it has been very good. HLAZ-1566 has been heard 35 minutes past my local sunrise.
