Re: [IRCA] TP from Masset for 31 2018
Walt, Really some great catches there. When I lived in Seward AK in the 60s, KTIL as well as KNPT were common. KAST was rare though. Those Lighthouse stations are a lot of fun and when conditions are good, their 50-60 watts gets out well. Logged and QSL'd 7 of them in the 90s. One would come on with the weather/current conditions, go off and another would pop on. Some were weaker than others, and some not audible. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager From: IRCA on behalf of Volodya S Sent: Monday, December 31, 2018 12:59 PM To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP from Masset for 31 2018 Nick is correct.

Re: [IRCA] TP from Masset for 31 2018
Nick is correct. Besides a very promising early evening nothing more occurred here in Masset. As for the morning very strong into Asia. Virtually nil from Australia. Once again 1611 was booming in until sign off after 17:00. Some TA Asian activity again including perhaps 1440 Saudi. 1539 was strong again TPs continue now past 20:30. 9400 Bulgaria was open 19 to 20 with a special as was Romania in Ukrainian on 49 meters.
