Hello All,
The bizarre solar conditions produced another DU-slanted morning here, with the
results even more twisted than usual. A very rare Australian pattern of
carriers formed on 612, 792 and 828 kHz around 1345, and two of them (612 and
792) even reached threshold audio for a few seconds before dropping out like a
rock. The usual (for this week) pattern of NZ carriers never showed up, and
738-Tahiti's signal was not up to its usual fair-good level. Once again
1575-VOA was the only Asiatic TP with any kind of signal, managing a moderate
carrier throughout the session. Overall it was another mediocre morning, but
the reception of any audio from Australia had not happened here for over a
year. If the DU conditions continue like this, our planned trip to Cannon Beach
next month may be more interesting than expected.
