Pretty grim this morning. Glad I was inside, and it's not the weather that bothered me. 774 JOUB was quite listenable at 1416, 1436 and 1458UT, but mostly not. 747 had recognizable EE lessons at 1431UT, and 828 1287 and 1566 each made a few burbles, then subsided again. As shall I. best wishes, Nick ___ ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Now the geomagnetic conditions are matching the radio conditions; everything in the bucket.
