[IRCA] TPs on Orcas Nov 8: Mediocre Minus

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There haven't been many poor mornings this Fall, so I can't complain 
too much.... It was just POOOOOR. Only the strongest regulars were 
there, almost exclusively on the Low Band.  Most were stronger an 
hour before dawn that at dawn enhancement.  The only ones above 
language-recognition level were JJs: 567 early, 747+774+828 all at 8s 
early and 945 CNR1 at 8 late. There were about a dozen other low 
banders, at 6s or 7s.

There was noting TP of particular interest.  I continue to note KJNO, 
Juneau on 630 with Fox Sports over-running the Seattle religious 
blaster. This morning, I decided to check a few other Alaskan 
frequencies and got 670-KDLG//890-KBBI running BBC overnight with a 
soccer game between Manchester United and someone... that was a real 
audience grabber in Alaska, I'll bet.  I also found 750-KFQD, 
580-KRSA, 800-KINY and 930-KTKN. I suspect that most of them are 
usually in at dawn, thanks to the directional characteristics of the 
Wellbrook array... and the fact that I look right up the coast at 
southeastern Alaska.

Well, it is less than a day until there is more DX.
