[IRCA] Second Day at Grayland
What a difference a day makes!!! I guess that I should have expected
conditions to tank after the extraordinary morning of the 29th -
actually I feared that they would and THEY DID!
The morning was like a slightly below average morning recently on
Orcas, though the conditions continued to really favor Japan, such as
they were. I managed to add four stations to yesterday's total, two
were co-channels not present yesterday: 1260-JOIR, Sendai and 1350,
JOER, Hiroshima. The other two : JOIF-1413 and JOUF-1314 were old
friends that were either very poor yesterday or were missed in the
feeding frenzy. Also added were 1161- BCC-Country Synchros in Taiwan
and WYFR-1557, also Taiwan. These are often present on the same
mornings. There were a couple of new Sourth Koreans and one new (for
this trip) Chinese, but that was it. Gee, I wish that I could report
all sorts of exotic stuff, but it just wasn't there this morning.
There was audio all over the dial at some point or other, but most
was at murmur level at best. I did have a chance to make two TOH
recordings of Radio Anhui-936 at 1300 and 1400 and catch the EE news
from 1403 until about 1412. Was coming in the best of the season, for
me, so I'll try yet another reception report.
I must say that I was rather dumbfounded to read all of the reports
from Puget Sound, Victoria AND Patrick that Tuesday, the 29th was a
"China morning" when I had wall-to-wall Japan with only the most
prominent CCs making a showing. Wow. Had it just been the bunch to
my north hearing China, I'd have thought that it was - maybe -
understandable.... but with all of those northern folks and then
Patrick about an equal distance to my South, I was surrounded by
Chinese DX and just had the best Japanese morning in memory. Some
sort of "pipeline propagation," I guess?
