Re: [IRCA] TP DX Not as good as yesterday

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmmm,

It's 11:30 on the west coast and, so far, Bill and I are the only ones 
who have reported the morning's TP DX.  Apparently, everyone else either:
1. Got up too late because they forgot to reset their clocks to standard 
time
2. Intentionally slept in late, thinking that conditions would be bad
3. Got up and listened but didn't hear anything worth mentioning
4. Listened and found conditions so good that they're still going 
through the recordings to identify stuff.
