Hi Richard,
<<< It was a poor morning for TP DX here. Nothing was
noted on 702 or 738 like the hets of the past five
mornings. >>>
Yes, I was thinking of you this morning, when 738-Tahiti failed to make an
appearance here in Puyallup. For some strange reason, this location acts like a
propagation indicator for 738-Tahiti's ability to propagate into the center of
the continent (unlike some other west coast locations). When I reported two
days ago that the best 738-Tahiti signal ever was received here,Tim Tromp in
western Michigan (and Kaz in Illinois) reported the same thing. Of course when
I don't receive it, Tim, Kaz and the rest of the Midwestern DXers probably
didn't have much of a chance. With all the wild solar activity, though, you
should get a few more chances before long at Auroral propagation (and
738-Tahiti), I think.
<<< I finally ended up listening to a good
signal from 770-XEREV, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, on the
SRF-T615 and 7" FSL (a dangerous combo). >>>
Yes, the SRF-T615 and the 7" FSL are a dangerous combo indeed. One you learn
all the quirks of the FSL (and become skillful at using one), you will wonder
why it took AM-DXers so many decades to develop this breakthrough portable
antenna.

Good DX.

Hello All,
The rare DU propagation of the past two days (which
brought good audio from 738-Tahiti, and weak audio
from a few mystery stations) was long gone here this
morning, as the Asiatic TP's started to come back.
Only a few "big gun" TP's managed decent audio,
however, indicating that conditions have yet to fully
recover from the Auroral period. Sorry that Richard
in Oklahoma (and a few others) probably didn't get
much of a chance of good 738-Tahiti audio this morning.
