Conditions were good today.  The Japanese dominated the scene, with 
Koreans and Chinese generally not as good.


JOAB-693 must've gotten an extra does of steroids today.  It was often 
just a few db weaker than CBU, between 1330 and 1400 and actually was 
slightly stronger than CBU during the time pips at 1400.

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on November 8

2015-11-08 Thread Bruce Portzer
The TPs returned today after several days' absence.  Nonetheless, it was 
just a half dozen of the regulars.


JOUB was at near-local strength for a while.  Other than that, it was a 
decidedly unexciting morning.


The best reception was between 1330 and 1400, or about an hour before 
local sunrise.
