Quite correct, dxAce. Typical 1300 UTC s/off of the PNGs is over 2-1/2 hours
prior to our sunrise around December 1st. This is far from any local sunrise
enhancement.

We'll sometimes see a brief sunset-at-the-transmitter enhancement, though,
around 0830 UTC. In the summer, with a West Beverage antenna at the coast,
we'll get hets or weak audio from the PNGs starting up as early as 0715 when
conditions are good.

Yes, I'm glad you mentioned that sunset-at-the-transmitter enhancement which can
be quite interesting! I haven't stayed up that late nor have I gotten up that
early in quite a while. Fun to park on the frequency and hear them rise right
out of the muck for a bit then fade away again.

Wish I still had all my issues of 'Proceedings' so I could peruse all the great
propagation articles again!
