Hello All, Believe it or not several Asian big guns sounded halfway alive this morning. Shaking off a 12 day slump the Japanese and Korean mega-stations led the revival, with 594-JOAK even hitting a fair to good audio level just after 1500. At first check around 1400 it was already obvious that this morning would feature an improvement over the recent lackluster November propagation. 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB, 972-HLCA and 1566-HLAZ were all managing threshold audio, and 1593-CNR1 was close to doing so. There were even some moderate carriers on 603 and 738-- almost unheard of recently. These big guns generally rose up to fair levels in and out by 1430, and a late sunrise enhancement boost around 1500 gave additional strength to 594-JOAK and 1593-CNR1. Both of these diehards hit very brief good peaks around 1510 before collapsing back into the noise with the other Asian big guns. It wasn't exactly a thrilling session, but after the recent TP-DXing doldrums it certainly was a vast improvement. 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
