That's a really GOOD day here out east Bill!  ;-)

And it wouldn't be at 1421utc either -- subtract about 3 or 4 hours.

Today saw a return of some weak 'traces' ... as I call the ghostly vertical 
lines that fall from the top of a Perseus waterfall graph.

945 & 873 were the 'best' with some brief periods of 747, 828 and 972.

It never ceases to amaze me how these traces go from totally absent to near 
audio in a very short time and then back down again.  Nothing near audio level 
today and none of them would even be 'visible' without the 'Zoom' scale on the 
Persues.

Have been 'tracking' 738 for a couple of months.  It comes in best when 
'pointing' west whereas the other Asian TPs come in best north.  I'll bet it's 
Tahiti but I've been unable to get any audio so far.  I sure hope it doesn't 
turn out to be a 'phantom' signal, produced locally, as I have on a few other 
freqs.
