[IRCA] Orcas Isl TPs: Weird Morning

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

I really do wonder if we are seeing the beginning of the winter TP 
doldrums in the Pacific NW.  This morning was very poor, but in a 
different way than earlier in the season.  "Normally" when there is a 
bad morning, The vast majority of stations are reduced approximately 
the same amount.... The stronest ones are weaker, the mid-level are 
weak hets and the weak ones are just GONE. This morning and 
yesterday, too, the lower half of the band was fairly full of audio, 
but it was almost ALL at threshold level.... a lot of the normally 
weak ones were still there, too, and about as weak as ever.... and 
the strong ones were reduced, now, to their level. So, 603 and 612 
were still there as were 765 and 783 (and 1116, 1188,1269, 1278, 
1305, 1368 and 1386, but all of the normally strong Chinese, NK and 
all but the big 3 NHK2s were down at the same weak level.  AND ALLA 
THIS IS GOING ON WHILE TAs are getting clear across the 
continent.  That just doesn't make sense on two or three different levels!

Sure is interesting... but a steady diet of this morning would force 
me to look into golf lessons, for sure!

Three more mornings for me!!
