Topband: unusual conditions

At 3B9C we worked stations as far as 1000 km past the terminator into the daylight (afternoon) sector on lengthy paths (possibly
skewed).  Depending on latitude and season, that can be anywhere from 20 minutes up in time.

So... at 3Y0X we are going to come up on 160m whenever the terminator is within 1000 km of our QTH.  With some luck on conditions we
might be able to extend our top-band reach for some of the difficult regions far away from Peter 1st.  Keep your fingers crossed,
and be listening early!

I knew something was up when I started hearing Europe nearly
an hour before my sunset (Sunday). 20 minutes before sunset
some of the European stations were already S9.
