This was one of my best TP mornings in a long time. It was also My
first TP session in several weeks. To add to the fun, I was actually
listening in "real time" for once. On the down side, there was a
computer glitch. Even though the red "record" indication was on, the
Elad software didn't record most of the session. I did get recordings
around sunrise after I started a new recording at around sunrise. All
of which means I can mostly just summarize from memory and the brief
sunrise recording, which was still pretty good.
Conditions were already very good when I sat down at the rig at 1155 and
remained good for a while. There was a bit of a drop in signal levels
at about 1400 before things briefly picked up again at about 1445
So here are the results in frequency order. Sorry for the lack of
specific times.........
558 Korea - probably the best signal ever heard at home ///603
567 JOIK good
594 JOUK, Grayland levels today. I can't recall when I last heard it
that well
