Very nice shot Dennis. A station I have heard many time, but never seen. Never been to SE AK, but we drove the Alkan Highway many times. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager > From: wb6...@gmail.com > Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 21:48:39 -0700 > To: irca@hard-core-dx.com > Subject: Re: [IRCA] DX

Never seen the station, but a regular here in the Fall/Winter. In fact I think I have logged KTKN about every month out of the year. They are only 750 air miles North. The same distance I was from them when I lived in Seward AK in the 60s. But a station I have heard for many many years. Patrick

Gary spoke of a step backward, but here the step was right off a cliff, as I heard zero TP audio today. A few carriers on the regular channels, none overly inspiring, was all I could squeeze out of the ether this morning. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___

Hello All,   Asian results here this morning were once again very similar to those reported by Dennis as TP propagation took a definite step backward, in comparison to yesterday. What sounded like a real clunker session early on was rescued somewhat by a very late sunrise enhancement boost, br
