Hello All, Asians signals took a nosedive this morning as September's first clunker session was delivered in full force. Two ghostly Asians and 738-Tahiti did manage to squeak through with audio around peak sunrise enhancement, but even they were MIA for most of the session. At my 1300 start time the Asians were comatose indeed, with only 594 and 738 delivering moderate heterodynes. Nothing much changed until 1320, when 603 joined the moderate heterodyne group. It seemed like the clunker session would deliver a TP audio shutout until 1325, when 594-JOAK's carrier rose up and eeked out a few seconds of ghostly speech. Not to be outdone, 603 then did the same, bailing after a few seconds of wispy pop music. A 738 signal bearing toward Tahiti waited until San Francisco splatter bit the dust at 1330 before making a ghostly appearance with apparent R&B music, fading in and out until 1335. The session was a true clunker in comparison to the past few days, and a stark reminder that we shouldn't expect too much in early September of a lean solar year. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
