No sign of the test up here. Conditions have been poor all day with high

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

153, 162, 189, 1053, 1134, 1215 and 1575. Nothing new, but after weeks of
nothing but LW TA's, quite a change to hear some
