Hi all: Bouyed by your positive reception reports lately and taking advantage of the (relative) later sunrise this morning, I managed to wrest myself out of bed and in front of the dials. The lower end of the band had hets all over the place at 1400 UTC (LSR is 1426). I had a small domestic emergency arise at 1415 so didn't make it until LSR (sheesh, kids...).
The hets that materialized into audio: 594 - JJ-NHK1 essentially at armchair level, blaring TOH pips at 1400, and was always there every time I flew by. Hasn't been much stronger here that I can recall. 648 - presumed JJ in the splatter 1401 666 - unk in splatter 693 - JJ initially splattered, then near arm-chair at 1406, ?? with the next three stations. 747 - JJ came and went, best with EE lessons at 1406 774 - JJ good the entire time, best at 1407. Impossible without the Super Loop's deep nulls on local 770-KTTH 828 - JJ good at around 1400, then tailed of by 1410 1332 - something interesting in the splatter; good strength, just too close to domestics coming at me from every direction. 1422 - good het, but too close to locals 1566 - HLAZ with decent intelligibility at 1404, but by 1415 was gone All the other hets were just too weak/shy.
