Thank you -- the header images are easy to change up -- and in our case, DX
Sites or antenna tower views will likely be the norm...

Work in progress.

Looks really nice, and I do have a nitpick:
I would say for consistency's sake, on the "Bookstore List" page, make sure to 
put ALL the book/reprint titles in BOLD.  I  notice that the headings for 
"DXers Technical Guide," "Sunrise/Sunset Maps", and "IRCA Reprints" aren't in 
bold font.   That's the only thing I noticed that needs changing.

Its looking good and I know that it will take time and I know that you will do 
a good job.  We now have the Mexican log 20th out and you have the Mexican log 
#19 so that needs to be changed.  Thank you for all of the work that you will 
do on this project.

[IRCA] TP 8 Jan Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

There's rumors that conditions will improve.   So far, just rumors.



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


no



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


no reason to be reasonable


not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


567 JOIK assumed; man in Japanese 1339UT, no sign of 594
738 Tahiti, homme en francais 1201UT; also rhythmic pop 1424UT woman in French
774 JOUB, nothing at sunrise, but much earlier, 0958UT man in 
Japanese, woman on phone; unusual format for NHK2; had faded 
considerably by pips at 1000UT

1566 HLAZ assumed, man in Japanese  1332UT



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music)


747 man talking, sounded Japanese, but too poor to be sure 1340UT, 
apparently the time for the low band Sapporo opening (see 567)
972 HLCA woman in Korean perhaps, 1330UT; the only one heard at 
sunrise, very poor with man talking 1607UT




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter)


558 612



best wishes,

Nick
