[IRCA] TP report for 2Oct09 from Victoria

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

OK, here's my results for this morning's DX.  A generally average morning.  Poor initially, but picked up nicely after 13:30, as has been the pattern of late.  I was hoping for really good conditions after a nice Alaskan opening at 06:00 UTC last night, but it wasn't to be.  Nothing terribly exciting.  CRI RR was at 9 level after 14:00 while I was watching Guy's unid on 1322...the best I've heard this season.  Very modest DU appearance too again with Brisbane at 8 level on 612 and 1116 at 8 level at 14:06.  As always a "6" unless otherwise noted.  SF 72, A2, K1.

1116:  DU at 14;06 at 8 level
1134, and 1143 both 7 level, with latter a bit of a jumble at 14:05
1170:  8 level CC easily heard under KPUG     Here's an observation of mine.  If you have a local station, it's better to try for TPs on frequency (when the 9 and 10 kHz channels match), than to fight the splatter.  Splatter is FAR FAR worse to contend with than the clean modulation of a local station with a cochannel underneath.  This is why we can hear the CC station relatively easily under the local, than say 1071 vs my local 1070!
