Re: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 1 December 2018





Here also, in Victoria, conditions looked much better before about 1400UT, though it was primarily strong signals on the big guns, rather than Chinese.

There seem to be a at least a couple of modes of propagation from East Asia, an overnight gradual increase, then drop off in signal strength as dawn approaches, and then a second boost near sunrise. Sometimes, they run together, sometimes one is there and not the other, and sometimes neither. The sunrise boost is when more interesting DX happens usually, but, as always, anything is possible...

Unfortunately, this morning, sunrise boost just wasn't there.

best wishes,

Nick

They decent TP conditions of yesterday did not extend into the first morning of December. Only the Japanese powerhouses and HLAZ made it from Asia during the 1400-1500 listening time, joined by a few Aussies. 4BC would have deep fades, but on peaks it was by far the strongest overseas signal this morning. Interestingly I had inadvertently done a ToH recording at 1100 and the Japanese signals were much stronger then. Perhaps a solar hiccup sometime between 1100 and 1400?

1548 4QD Emerald, AUSTRALIA End of country song at 1455, then talk by man. Presumably Saturday Night Country pgm.

1566 HLAZ Jeju, S.KOREA Traces of talk at 1437. A far cry from yesterday.

Plus the regular Japanese on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828 (at uninspiring levels)
