Hello All, Asian propagation was pretty scary this morning, with even most of the big guns reduced to ghostly heterodynes. The frightfully bad conditions were a step downhill from yesterday, with even the big guns like 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA sounding half dead. At my 1310 start time the band was in a morbid state, with only 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB managing eerie threshold audio. Around 1345 the Korean big gun 972-HLCA rose from the dead in a halfhearted sort of way, getting murdered by the 970-Portland splatter. A ghostly heterodyne on 738 around 1400 turned out to be Tahiti, which couldn't manage anything better than pitiful French moans in the San Francisco hash. 972-HLCA expired early before sunrise enhancement at 1430, which only seemed to reduce 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB to ghostly levels in the frightful domestic splatter. The propagation was hopeless, and by 1450 all the Asians had expired into a comatose state. In summary, the session was far from a thriller, and a pretty grim reminder of how an overactive sun can send Asian propagation straight into the grave. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Ghostly Japanese speech at 1343; rising in and out of the noise at eerie levels throughout the morbid session http://www.mediafire.com/listen/els1ccld7hpor8d/594-JOAK-1343z103114PL380.MP3 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick Tecsun PL-380 Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
