This morning was the first morning for excellent TP conditions from Massett. I arrived on 26 December and will be here until 3 January. The other mornings have been rather poor. There has been no TA activity whatsoever. This morning however was fabulous towards especially Japan. Many 100 W stations were heard. 1575 AFM Japan was booming in for many hours after local sunrise. I could hear clearly two AFN stations but not the third. I'm not sure where they come from. One plays Galixie all music while the other plays network sports and news programming.
I was still hearing them at 11 to 11:30 AM local time several hours after local sunrise. I also heard several Russian longwave stations on 153, 189, the rarely heard 171 and 279. I wonder whether these will continue after the end of the month. Especially quiet conditions at the cottage makes this all a lot of fun. Full report to follow by next weekend. 73, Walt Salmaniw _______________________________________________ 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
