HI Guys
I wish this was problem here!!!
Here's hoping they give us the band in Canada in the new year.

Dear Warren, LF,
well your point about the winter night is perfectly understood...
A fixed QRG will not be a problem for transatlantic contacts, as long
as we Eu's would transmit in the lower band. Only if during the second
half of your night you'd aim West, and someone from over there might
want to fire up near your QRG, the two of you could end up
blocking possible coast-to-coast contacts.
There is also a technical answer: you could perhaps tune remotely
using a relay, or even connect the additional capacitance at the input
of the feedline. It may add in a bit of extra loss but not much, as
only 2% of the reactance would need to be switched.
Best wishes,
Markus (DF6NM)

Markus,
My antenna tuning unit is outside 100 meters away from
the ham shack.
I am unwilling to go out in the winter night to retune the antenna to
QSY to the lower frequency segment.

Dear LF,
the passage should have said:
Taking into account the path of mutual darkness, this would mean that
all stations should transmit in the UPPER band during their evenings
until local midnight, and then QSY to the lower band for the rest of
the night.
Sorry for the confusion.
73, Markus
