Topband: 7O6T - Tonight

[Gary K9GS]

Thanks for the information Bernie.

Believe me I'm not trying to kill the messenger or anything but this is 
precisely the problem with some Dx-peditions.

At this time of year, in New York city, sunset is at 0004Z.  99.9% of 
the continental US is in sunlight when the 7O is leaving 80M.  This is 
great if you live in EU...you get to work the 7O on 80M during hours of 
darkness.  Even if I could hear the 7O at 2345Z, over an hour before my 
sunset, there is no way to work them through the EU stations calling.

Good luck to all chasing the 7O on top-band.
