Good Morning:.
Some weak South Pacific carriers on 738-846 1017. Level 3 at best here. Wish
I was at Grayland with a SRF-59 right now.
No audio on any TP here, a level 3 carrier on 774.

Pat,
I knew that if they were carriers here, at the coast they would
probably be audio. Thanks for checking the South Pacific
stations. Would love to hear some Island music here.

Dennis,
Back around 1979-80 when the solar cycle was peaked, Pacific Island
stations would be heard inland often. Back in the older DXWW-West
IRCA Foreign logs, you would see fair number of reports inland. By early
reports on this next solar cycle, this may be a big one again, so those

Pat,
That would be great to be able to hear down under stations
again. Back in 81 from my 1 bedroom apartment in Albany,
CA heard about a dozen down-under stations. HQ-180
and 4' NRC loop. Just looking back at the log book the solar
flux in OCT 1980 ranged around 185-259. In the old days
Dennis,
From 1979 to about 1985, I went from less than a dozen DU veries, to
over 200. I remember one day in 1979, that Summer, I lived in Seaside
1/2 block from the beach and I walked down to the post office and found
7 QSLs in the box. 4 were Australians and 3 were from New Zealand. I

Pat,
Thanks for sharing the Good Old Days of DU Dxing. What would
be the earliest time to hear a station from NZ or Australia?
Checking my 80's log book my DU receptions were around
1100-1200 ut. I think that was because work started at
5:00 AM and I would DX before going to work. The

Jim,
Yes, I sure remember the coast to coast TIS reception too. I QSL'd quite
a few. I guess we were there at the right time.
I wish the TIS stations would move up between 1700-1800 khz. We could
have our heyday back.

Dennis,
I don't remember the LAPD one, but I did get a lot of coast to coast
TIS stations. Some that come to mind Pennsylvania HAR in Allentown on
1630, JFK 1700, VA on 1620, etc. Those were great times.
Back in the great DU days, I used to get Hawaii by 8 or 9 PM (PT),
around LSS in Hawaii.
