[IRCA] Nov. 7th: Ionosphere Delivers a Gold Mine to the Pacific NW

[Guy Atkins <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hope other DXers in the Northwest, from the Victoria crew southwards,
found last night to be a fascinating time at the dials.

At my temporary Cape Lookout post in Oregon, I noticed a few Japanese
stations in audio more than an hour and a half before Japan sunrise. With
4.5 terabytes of hard drive space on my laptop now I decided to just let
SDR recording continue uninterrupted through the night.

Spot checks a few times through the night showed a wealth of TPs up and
down the band. When I stopped recording at 1645 UTC (nearly two hours past
local SR), a handful of Chinese and Korean signals were still providing
weak but clear audio.

So... what a turnaround from the previous two mornings. I'll be interested
to know others impressions of DX on Nov. 7th, as I face an SDR DXer's
dilemma of how to approach over 11 hours of productive DX recordings!
