<<< In spite of Gary's success down south, conditions in Victoria remained somewhat eclipsed this morning. >>> Thanks Nick, There was a total eclipse of driving space on I-5 this afternoon as multiple Washington, BC and Alberta drivers combined to make the downtown Portland area a total zoo. The Lincoln City DU results were pretty flabbergasting in consideration of the modest equipment taken along for the trip (one 8" FSL, no SSB spotting receiver, one CC Skywave, etc.). This limited gear tracked down some pretty awesome DU signals, though, which should be posted tomorrow.

Not as good a morning today in general, although 1539, even if unID, is not to be sneezed at.
