Richard, This Asian season is by far the weakest since our Ultralight radio group was formed in late 2007. There have been about 3 or 4 good days when second-tier stations like 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 have had strong audio here in Puyallup, but for the most part it has been a dreary season of chasing wispy audio from the Japanese and Korean big guns. The fact that any TP audio at all has shown up in Oklahoma is amazing, and is probably due to your new antenna. Fortunately there is the DU-DXing season next summer, which is not degraded by the overactive sun, and even seems to be enhanced by it. Oregon cliff hotspots like Rockwork 4 and Cape Perpetua should get some serious attention from TP-DXers eager to finally enjoy their hobby :-) I hope that you can join us one of these summers! 73, Gary

Stations from south of the border were much stronger than usual. It continues to be a very frustrating season thus far. Hopefully tomorrow!
