Re: [IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on 22 Feb

[Gary DeBock <d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

By coincidence I was testing out a brand new TSA-friendly 89mm (3.5 inch) FSL antenna at 1220 in the predawn darkness, and had various S9 peaks from 972-HLCA on the tiny antenna, as well as S7 peaks from 594-JOAK and some weak audio from 657-Pyongyang. By 1400 all of these had fizzled out, though, and further DXing was foregone.

972-HLCA Dangjin, S. Korea First TP-DX received (at a powerful level) on a new "Baby FSL" in the snow-covered back yard at 1220

Some time around 1330 they all gradually faded into the noise and never returned. I guess that would be the exact opposite of a sunrise enhancement, whatever you care to call it.
