[IRCA] Dead Skunk (in the Middle of a DXpedition)

[saulamdx <saulamdx@xxxxxxxxx>]

"Dead Skunk" ... is this some kind of secret code to
describe current DX conditions?

That could apply here. Only moderately interesting...

Once again tonight, Cubans are in, but not smoking
like they were last night. 890 is strong, so is 670,
but aside from a hint here or there on other channels,
that's about it. 750 and 780 Venezuela also strong.
I'm keeping watch on 720 and 700 in hope for some of
what barry snagged last night. (see my other post
about the 720 growler).

Just a few weak TA hets on 891 and 1521...even LW is
dead.

Far as domestics go, last night and tonight a sleeper.
Sunsets nabbed a few moderately-interesting relogs,
nothing really worth reporting. Sunrise this morning
was a bust. Even the pre-dawn Mexicans, unsually
reliable, were absent. Did catch 1300 Disney in Fulton
NY. Probably my closest unheard, except for a few
40-watt CBC relays. It was way below WERE and others,
and only IDed because it runs //1560 etc.

So, yeah, tonight it's a bit of a dead skunk.
