Re: [IRCA] TP 8 Oct Victoria version.
It's amazing how that can happen Mark, and when listening on split frequencies, the problem is even worse. If you are DXing, presumably you want to hear something, and many of our brains are quite capable of providing that. Yesterday morning, TP DX was pretty much wiped out, but there was plenty of "near imaginary" audio, or maybe it was just plain imaginary. At best, it can sometimes be paralleled up with another signal, with the "near imaginary" in one ear, and the network parallel in the other, but it's amazing the number of times I've had to conclude that it was all a misconception best wishes, Nick At 13:30 2018-10-09, Mark Pettifor wrote: Gotta love that "imaginary audio"!

As of 1400 UTC with a quick look prior to a shower, breakfast and work - it looks like a return to medium-normal this morning based on what’s on Nicks FishBarrel Radar. Hopefully Donald Barnes is basking in armchair signals from dial top to bottom.
