[HCDX] Logs from NH, Jan.20-21

Greetings to all,

With errands done, laundry folded and the house clean,
I spent the better part of Tuesday, January 20 at the
receiver. An early morning window to SE Asia, one of
my favorite DX target areas, was the best it has been
in weeks. I even did some program listening which
hasn't been done in quite some time. Too caught up
with a bad case of "DX fever", trying to log the
elusive signals. Tomorrow will be a day typing
reception reports.
