Instead of chasing Pacific carriers Sunday morning on the western BOGs, I found myself scrambling in the dark to get temporary feedlines setup from the shack to the South DKAZ to take advantage of the au conditions. With just a few minutes to spare, I managed to kickoff a spectrum recording covering the 7am / 11:00 UTC TOH. Later review exposed a pipeline into Texas including several new TX logs.
