a (Swedish/Finnish town not quite sure) would tune us in, apparently we would skip in there as clear as a bell for about 3-4 hours a night during the summer,not bad for a 1000 watt stn.
I'm not doubting your story, but that is weird as most of that signal path would be in daylight 24/7 at that time of the year, at the altitude where AM signals bounce off the ionosphere. When I lived in Yellowknife, it was light enough that we played baseball all night in July, and that was a long way South of the Arctic Circle.
