Hi everyone, I happen to wake up this morning a bit early as I had been outside yesterday afternoon cutting blackberry brambles from around the Eastern beverage. Well, I ended up getting not one but two blisters on one finger on my right hand (I am right handed), and a thorn in the end. I can't win. hi. Anyway I got the thorn out, but the blisters swelled up a bit and the soreness woke me up. I put some savve on them with a couple of bandaids and they are better now. However, it got me to the dials early. It was not too bad of a morning either. Nothing new logged, but a good start to an early season. 1566 3NE Wangaratta, Vic. Australia was armchair copy with lots of local spots and several mentioning Wangaratta around 1330 UTC. I have not heard them this strong for years. 1116 4BC Brisband was their usual strong self. With talk. But one interesting station was Taiwanese CC on 603 khz. No doubt the BCC station with 1 megawatt, but I have never logged Taiwan this early. It too was unneeded, but nice to hear. No filipinos though. Still a bit early for those. It was interesting though, as I raised the first leg of the Eastern beverage a few weeks back and now being higher (10-15 feet) from the old 4 feet, it too gets TPs/DUs in the morning where it never used to. The vertical with the ground radials going out to the NW/N/NE also got TPs/DUs. The EWE antenna did the best job as it always does. But it was interesting.
