Conditions this morning were kind of weird. The SDR recording had the
normal half dozen Japanese/Korean powerhouses with below average signals
from 1200-1330 UTC. Some time around 1330 they all gradually faded into
the noise and never returned. I guess that would be the exact opposite

Weird here in Grayland too Bruce. Difference being that the morning ended with
oddly good Aussie reception. Heard the ABC news theme on 837 @ 1700! Kind of
unusual, no?
Not sure what else is on the wav files but I suspect more of the same.
Asian reception was quite unremarkable.

My morning glance of the Hall-Patch radar appeared heavy on the DU.
Future plans at this shack include a KIWI WebSDR so multi-users can have the

tablet. I have to fly soon with my laptop. Do you carry on and if so

I fly several times a year with a bag full of radios (usually two Tecsun
PL380s, five C. Crane Witnesses, etc.), recorders, a DSLR and a laptop.
I've never been asked to turn any of them on. Often they don't even open
the bag.
Having said that - I have TSA PreCheck status tied to my NEXUS border
I travel with everything - all electronics carry on - never an issue - always
have a copy of your ham license. That always greases the skids.

which recovered briefly around local sunrise.
Odd in that last night, there were signs of TAs,
including a bit of weak audio on 1215, but there
