I had to temporarily take down my antenna while the next-door neighbor
replaced their fence, so I've been out of action for a few days.
Today's TPs were worth the wait, with decent reception from several
second tier stations. China on 981 was especially good at times. There
was a modest enhancement 1320-1345 UTC, after which things died down
pretty quickly. Nonetheless, weak carriers kept popping up on 1566 and
1575 until after 1500 UT. There was an interesting carrier on 1548 that
peaked at about 1335, no idea who that might have been.
