Hello All, Thanks to Dennis, Walt, Nick and Nigel for their TP-DU reports. It was an exclusively Asian morning here (as if that would surprise anybody). An entire collection of ghostly Asians showed up on 594, 603, 657, 693, 738, 747, 828, 1053, 1134, 1503, 1575 and 1593 from 1300-1345, but none of them could manage weak audio for more than a few seconds at a time. 1566-HLAZ was the only signal that sounded somewhat energetic, reaching a fair level around 1255. At my 1250 start time only 1566 was in audio, but both 594-JOAK and 603-HLSA rose up to ghostly levels by 1300. They were soon followed by a large group of anemic Japanese and Koreans on 657, 693, 747, 828, 1053 and 1134, but these all stuck around the noise level for the entire duration. Late on around 1330 a poor signal from 738 came into play, along with a mediocre high band revival on 1503, 1575 and 1593 (none of which amounted to more than ghostly wisps of audio for a few seconds at a time). Usually during mediocre conditions the Asians bail early, but like a bad Halloween movie this half-dead collection stuck around until 1345, refusing to die off like they should have. It was a bizarre session, but at least the Asians managed to show up with some variety. 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
