Actually, Walt, 0200 local (1000 UTC) is one of my favorite (favourite) times 
to check the band, and during this month it often provides better Asian results 
than the sunrise period. Unfortunately anyone who routinely chases Asian DX at 
home during that time period is likely to be written off as an antisocial 
misfit, especially if he has family and/ or work responsibilities. DXpeditions 
are our only remaining chance to act like wild teenagers again, and chase DX 
24/7. 

73, Gary

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 12/10/16.

[d1028gary]

After an overnight FSL antenna project I was looking for some Asians to run 
some A/B tests, but around 1300 only a few big guns (594, 747 and 1053) had any 
audio at all. Even 1566-HLAZ was down in the noise. Another check at 1530 
brought similar, dreary results. The new-design FSL (with Amidon ferrite) 
managed to bring the underperforming TP signals on 594, 693, 747 and 1053 up 
from miserable to mediocre. 

73 and Good DX, 
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)

I happened to return home from a delivery before 10:00 UTC, and the
spectrum was pretty full with Japanese signals, but 1st tier stations
only.  Not a peep from 738 or Australia that I could see.  594 was the
strongest, with 747, then 774 next in line.   Very good reception of 594.

So far (1530UT), they've been having a pretty tough time on this side 
of the Rockies as well, though there seems to be a small lift 
happening now.  Not like yesterday at all.
