This morning was a repeat of yesterday at a somewhat reduced level.
Instead of 30 plus audios, it was more like 20 plus and there were
more 6s. Still, it was the current standard pattern of Asians early
(including multiple Chinese) and DU late. 774 Japan put in a very
solid 9 at its peak and 963 + 1017 were the Chinese stars. Late was
diminished from mid-DU season of course, but most of the regulars
were there with 6s or 7s. 765 was particularly good and sure sounded
Maori to me. The most interesting channel of the morning was 666.
Early, this appeared to be Osaka (just on the edge of a 7) and late
it was clearly 2CN, Canberra, //612 with Olympic coverage. 2CN is
not completely common at Grayland and I don't think that I've ever
heard it before here.
I tried the modified E100 Ultralight during the Asian part of the
morning and got 774 easily... could have gotten it barefoot. The rest
fell victim to overloading from the huge Conti loop. I look forward
to having the much better behaved Wellbrook Array back up in a week
or so. That may be the best combo for this RF cesspool. If not, I
plan to try various ferrite bar antennas.... or concentrate on
Barefoot from here when doing Ultralights. It may take a while to
find the best combination of Ultralight and antenna to fight off the
Vancouver/Victoria RF. "You can never have too many radios or too
many antennas!"
A very nice morning, but not up to yesterday's "wonderful" standard :>)
