as you will gather with my lack of posts the MW band is still extremely poor for dx and although the regular east coast stations are coming in and i have seen reports on the skype chat that CBC is coming in as early as 1730 i just cant get the enthusiasm for these common stations and to be honest in the run up to Santa coming and at this time of the year when cousins etc who i haven't seen for years turn up at the door i haven't been doing much dxing. there is still not much of a dawn peak that i can see and the band is dropping off from 0830 - 0900 and once again there is reports of regular east coast stations coming in at 1100 but  my interest is not there to listen to WWKB at that time and what a difference to the logs of Martin Hall who has been logging west coast USA ... Alaska etc at midday ... i wonder if Santa will get me a house in the north of Scotland.
