Certainly no complaints from me!  TAs have been very poor this month (and, I 
gather, TPs from the left coast), but that hasn't bothered me at all.  In 
fact, December 06 has been the best DX month in terms of new loggings that 
I've had in years, with 46 newies so far this month.  That compares with 16 
in Nov, 22 in Oct, and 9 in Sept.  The Sept newies were nearly all TAs, while 
those in Oct and Nov were nearly all to the west, with Oct particularly good 
for deep west catches.  December has been completely different, with the 
resurgence of LAs and those fantastic auroral conditions in mid-month that 
filled the band with southern US stations.  Highlights for the month include 
8 new ones from NC, and 6 from TN.  And I finally snagged WFLF-540 in FL a 
couple of days ago - my nomination for the most widely-heard station in the 
northeast that I'd never logged.  On the LA front, I logged new ones from 
Honduras, Ecuador, Nicaragua (2), Venezuela, Cuba (5), and Mexico (4).

It's been a dandy season, from where I sit!
