Hello All, West coast DXers with reasonably low expectations probably had a decent TP-DXing session this morning, at least in comparison to yesterday's miserable results. Propagation from 1300-1335 was not bad, and allowed some fairly healthy signals from Asian "big guns" like 594, 747, 828, 972, 1134 and 1566. There was no signal swoon around 1400 like yesterday, and a modest sunrise enhancement boosted several second-tier stations like 558-HLQH and 936-Anhui. TP signal levels were generally nothing to shout about, but as most DXers have probably discovered during this modest 2010 Fall Season, being thankful for what TP audio comes in provides better hobby satisfaction than continually hoping for last year's results :-) The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the 34 degree back yard). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an SSB spotting receiver: 558 HLQH Daegu, S.
