[IRCA] TP logs from Grayland 3-28-08



This morning's DX here on the rainy Washington coast was somewhat OK but not spectacular. Lots of TPs were coming in but none were in particularly well. The upper part of the dial was pretty much dead except for 1566 and 1575. Even the normal high-band powerhouses like 1287 1323 1422 and 1475 were, at best, weak carriers with traces of audio. Conditions didn't seem nearly as good as yesterday, even allowing for the fact that yesterdays logs were limited to the 700s & 800s. As was the case yesterday, there was a sharp peak in signal strength around 1330. Before 1300 and after 1400 things were pretty dull. Highlights include:
