Guy and his family were here for the weekend and we managed to sneak
in a full dawn DX session this AM from 1200 to 1300. Since then,
the've headed back to Seattle and I've gotten packed and loaded for
Grayland (dawn ferry tomorrow AM.) I managed to pack my notes from
this morning. It was another very good Asian morning with DUs
showing up for the last ten minutes an in a very attenuated
fashion. We had about 6 or 8 DUs most at 6s and 7s and all but one,
ABC on 666, being the usual regulars.
The Japanese Big Guns were in early, middle and late, with 747,774
and 828 each peaking at least a solid 8 and a couple were as loud as
I've ever heard them. For the first time this year, NHK2 873
Kumamoto was in with very solid audio... an 8 at the peak. Lst year,
about now, I was hearing a few Chinese, though only one out of 3 or 4
mornings and always the same two or three... 963, 945 and
1017./ This year, they appeared earlier and each morning seems a
different mix of Koreans and Chinese. Its been very interesting so
far. I forget just which ones were in this morning... nothing that
we haven't heard before, but an interesting and encouraging mix.
Tomorrow is travel and setting up antennas, with the first DXing
being Tuesday morning. I'll report in on Tuesday evening from the
wi-fi area of the one-room local library. Hopefully, Walt will have
a report up by then, too!
