Well, what more can be said than what has already been said? I'm glad I get up early because there still seems to be a tiny bit of activity earlier on, but yes, it was pretty grim by 1400UT, and it was no hardship to head off to work a little after 1430. pretty darn good audio (all of it unde

Hello All, Despite the low expectations that most TP-DXers have now developed for the 2010 Season, this morning's Asian propagation was bad enough to make almost anyone check his radio, and antennas. Walt can be assured that he was not alone. >From 1300-1330 there was poor-fair audio

Downright poor is the only way to describe the disappointing Asian reception this morning. Curiously, the Russian LWBC stns were good at times and four of them in. Everything else was dreadful. Let's hope for better mornings to come this season. Times sampled: 1259Z, 1335Z, 1359Z, 1425Z for 1

Added WFUN 970 to the ULR logbook. Normally 970 is somewhat like a weak Graveyarder here, with no one station sticking out @ night. WFUN was quite loud, suggesting that they were on their day power / pattern. Maybe due to the storm / winds? Per my quick calculation, only about 60 of the 1000 wat
