Ive just looked at the Gt Circle route to XKO's from here and it takes a
very North path via Seoul, nearly paralleping the Northern Arctic coast nr
Barrow, then down to the East of Winnipeg then South...

Just been watching the West coast sun rise effect on NPG MSK signal on
appx 135.975/925 Khzish from here in Borneo. We had a USA pre dawn
enhancement over the previous 2 hours of some avg of 10dB up to the time
sun rose at ground level at San Fran area, then a rapid attenuation
thereafter. I saw the same yesterday although signals werent as good then.
These improved signals are just at audible levels with reasonable qrn. I
have traces on Dex XKO's freq (again) at his pre dawn at dot 60 slow but no
solid full ID. So no Proboscis monkey heading his way yet! XKO is just over
15,000Kms from here
Looking the other way...
What is surprising is that Im seeing DCF39 at 1457Z over a path of 10439Kms
with the nearest sundown, East of Moscow, thats on the great circle path
at ground level some 1475Kms (east) distant from Magdeburg. Its a good
strength too and vis at dot 10.
ill have a capture window open from now till my dawn at 2225Z from 136.317
to 136.321 dot 60 slow for anyone who wants to put signals up.
Tomorrow night (my night that is) will be the last night of operation from
here in Borneo :-((
