Asian results here were very similar to those reported by Dennis, with a collection of the usual TP big guns without much else. The Japanese on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were the best performers (along with the usual 1566-HLAZ), but second-tier TP's were few and far between. Well before sunrise at 1250 there were already very good signals from 747-JOIB and 1566-HLAZ, along with good signals from 594-JOAK and 774-JOUB. 603-HLSA managed threshold audio just prior to the 1300 TOH and stayed there for most of the session, rising up to brief fair levels (with an equally weak Chinese co-channel) around 1350. Other than this (and the occasional fair signal from 1134-JOQR) is was another NHK big gun show, with 774-JOUB and 594-JOAK both hitting very good peaks throughout the session. The usual powerhouse 972-HLCA was missing in action, though, and the 1053-Jammer sounded anemic at best. The second tier TP's that showed up yesterday on 657, 738 and 936 took the day off, and the usual collection of NHK big guns bailed early here, around 1410. Such was the story of another typical session in this lean solar year. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
