RE: [HCDX] Unusuual Cx noted 1300 UT

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for sharing your observations, Jerry.

I was DXing during the same 1200-1300 time frame from the Pacific NW USA,
but on the 90, 75, and 60meter tropical bands. I found the usual Papua New
Guinea and Indonesian stations to be virtually non-existent. The ABC
Australia stations on 120 meters were also absent; I can normally hear at
least weak audio from them. I also checked for ZXLA Levin, New Zealand but
couldn't even discern a het on their 3935 frequency.

Instead of the South Pacific Stations I found numerous Latin signals at good
levels. Since I'm not too interested in LAm DX, I didn't make an effort to
ID any of them, although I happened upon Voz del Napo, Ecuador, 3280 while
they were giving their ID. However, the quantity of the Latins on the
tropical bands was very unusual this morning. I can't recall the last time I
heard so many Latins from my location in the NW corner of the continental
US.

Did anyone else find conditions unusual for their receiving location?
