[IRCA] TP for 30 Nov from Victoria, BC

Listened from 1430 to 1545UT this morning, and if anything it was a little poorer than yesterday. In general, there seemed to be more signal strength on TPs at 1430 than later, but more splatter as well, so it was easier to dig out DX later. Not much of a lift at sunrise again today, though

Nick, That's very neat, especially considering you heard them so late in a urban setting with a modest antenna. It prompted me to check my logs for the latest I've heard them. The latest-ever for me was 1730 UTC on Jan. 8, 2006 with a Beverage at Ocean City State Park (north of Grayland). I

We, Don, there's no salt water path to HLAZ from here for a couple of hundred kilometers at least, but even so, your path hardly involves water at all. But then, might there have been a Beverage involved in your reception? Thanks to your recording, I knew what to look for... it just
