Hi all: Well, I figured it couldn't be worse than yesterday, but it was! Besides being a little wetter, cooler and windier, the DX was even more elusive. There were occasional periods of VERY nice audio on 738 (Tahiti) and 891 (Adelaide), brief appearances on 792 & 702, and what sounded like French on 639 most of the morning (Fiji?) but never quite got to intelligibility.
However, on the whole it was a remarkably quiet morning for DX. There were occasional static crashes throughout the morning, so there must have been some serious weather out to sea. While yesterday there was a nice local sunrise peak that lasted for about a half hour, today I stuck a fork in it about 15-20 minutes after local sunrise since things just kept getting fainter and fainter. So, while the DX was not what Gary found last week a few miles down the road, where he was listening to TPs on a barefoot Sony SRF-T615, it was still great to get out and hear what DX I heard :-).
