Re: [IRCA] Sept 3 DU chase from IL resend

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nice work, Kaz!  Conditions were much better for me a few days ago, so I
don't have much to report this morning.  You did better than I did.  DU
carriers noted on many lower 9 khz channels this morning at sunrise with
only 702 producing some threshold audio at 1110 UTC (YL talking) and then
again 1116 UTC with music.  Both 2BL & NZ had equal level carriers during
this time, so it could have been either one.  1098 not as good here this
morning and the splatter was worse than previous mornings.  No carrier
noted here on 1017 at 1100 TOH.

Looking forward to your progress on your double flag antenna.

73,
Tim Tromp
