[SADXA] 1A0C

[W7EXG (Bill)]

Jim,

Yes, so that puts 40m DAY propagation 1:15 hrs after 1A0C's sunrise. 

I suspect station could be heard for at least another 45 min, or at least 2
hrs after 1A0C Sunrise. 

Thanks

Bill

Bill, I came back to 40m and listened for them about 30 minutes after 
Carl's QSO.  They were a few db weaker but still good copy.

Yes, transmitting back into the darkness helped boost their signals to 
us quite a bit, and vice versa for we who were using the same signal 
path to them.
