Very true Gary, comparing current TPs to the 2007-2009 period would be a
good recipe for long term depression. It's still fun to compare the
day to day variations, and the odd pleasant surprise does turn up.
Actually, I must say reception has exceeded my low expectations for this
part of the solar cycle. And yes, chasing TPs so far from the
invigorating sea air is certainly a challenge, but as long as every day
isn't like yesterday, still a fun one.

Hi Nigel,
Thanks for your daily TP-DXing reports from so far inland. Sometimes I wonder
if those of us on the coast really appreciate the challenge of DXing so far
away from salt water (like you, Steve and Richard do each morning).
So far this new TP season has had its high points and low points, but this
morning it was definitely scraping the bottom. I guess the key to enjoying the
daily morning TP chase is to have low expectations in view of the current solar
cycle, and be thankful for whatever pleasant surprises it offers. Comparing the
current conditions to what we enjoyed 3 or 4 years ago is not going to provide
a very high level of hobby satisfaction!

Can't aruge with other comments this morning. Definitely a dud
here too, with no audio whatsoever, and even the carriers not being that
impressive. As Walt says, there's always tomorrow.
