First of all, congratulations to Deane for the UL loggings in Calgary. These conditions are amazing, but even so, that's a very northerly path covering a lot of land.
And, as for conditions, this was a "rabbit in the headlights" morning, so many unIDs, so little time, and not enough parallels. On top of that, even with the many signals, the directional antennas didn't seem to be rejecting domestic splatter as well as usual, so there was a general feeling of fighting with a firehose. I've had some time off work to compensate for the seven day weeks worked on the last field trip, so listened from 1330 to 1500 with no qualms. Again, things got very lively just after 1400, but were not bad beforehand either. The liveliness lasted until after 1430, with the bulk of signals gone by 1450, though the big guns kept popping up (still some audio on 1287 and 1575 at 1600UT as well). Perhaps not as strong overall as yesterday, but still pretty astonishing. As an aside, the EE lessons today on NHK2 discussed shoplifting in Japan; not a happy topic for a country where it used to be unknown. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly, though mostly pretty steady): 279 R.
