Guy,

Congratulations!!!

This shows how really local DX can be.... Yesterday AM (Tuesday) the cx 
were "Decent to Good High Band Opening, But Spotty. Direction was toward 
East Asia"  That being said, up here, the 1566 signal was much reduced from 
normal... as was VOA, 1575.  However, I had huge audio on 1503, JOUK, Akita 
and (for the first time, I think) very decent audio on WYFR, 1557, Taiwan. 
Nothing noted on 1593 at all... and only hets on 1566, 1575.... I was DXing 
almost an hour after you, though, so that probably has something to do with 
the differences, too.

This AM was disappointing... Very DU and modstly weak hets. Threshold audio 
on 702 and 837 outta Australia. NOTHING on 1566, 1577.

Well, I better get to work... we are within two days of being ready for 
Final Inspection... running just a month behind schedule (better than usual).
