For the second time in three days this mediocre location seems to have shared in the superb TP-DX propagation north of the border-- although for some reason the Canadian tendency to write extremely detailed DXing reports doesn't seem to be catching on here?
Another huge onslaught of powerful Chinese signals pounded into this landlocked location from 1400-1445 this morning, to be once again tracked down by a ridiculously small 5" FSL antenna. The "Frequent Flyer" has been tweaked with ultra-sensitive Litz wire and a new, high performance variable cap to make it think that it can "fly sky high." Unfortunately my free time is limited this evening, so on the theory that an MP3 is worth a thousand words (maybe like a picture?) I'll just go ahead and post five links from the five inch antenna this morning, and let the Victoria DXers do all the heavy lifting by spending hours compiling detailed TP-DXing reports.
