Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 12/10/16.

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

After an overnight FSL antenna project I was looking for some Asians to run some A/B tests, but around 1300 only a few big guns (594, 747 and 1053) had any audio at all. Even 1566-HLAZ was down in the noise. Another check at 1530 brought similar, dreary results. The new-design FSL (with Amidon ferrite) managed to bring the underperforming TP signals on 594, 693, 747 and 1053 up from miserable to mediocre. 

73 and Good DX,

I happened to return home from a delivery before 10:00 UTC, and the 
spectrum was pretty full with Japanese signals, but 1st tier stations 
only. Not a peep from 738 or Australia that I could see. 594 was the 
strongest, with 747, then 774 next in line. Very good reception of 594.
