I dunno Don. I can't speak for myself, as I wasn't here last year at this time, but I do keep track of the TP logging reports. Here's what Gary had to say concerning one year ago tomorrow morning:

So actually his report this morning sounds pretty competitive. John Bryant was hearing good stuff, but from a good location with big antennas.
And here's what Dennis heard tomorrow morning, one year ago:
>153 RUSSIA, 1200 fair with pips TOH and moderate noise.
>180 RUSSIA, 1209 very weak barely above noise level.
>234 RUSSIA, 1211 steady weak signal and less noise than above channels.
>279 RUSSIA, 1212 fair with music.
>666 JAPAN, JOBK 1217 weak over another station.
>693 JAPAN, JOAB, 1331 weak with woman in Japanese.
>738 JAPAN?, 1321 weak with Japanese music.
>774 JAPAN, JOUB 1221 fair with splatter.
>1053 KOREAS, 1230 jammer above faint audio.
>1134 CHINA, CRN1 1311-1316 good, best signal ever on this station.
> Woman/man in Chinese // 5030.
>1215 CHINA, 1240 weak with Chinese. First time this season.
>1278 JAPAN? 1242 threshold audio.
>1287 JAPAN, JOHR 1324 weak with man in Japanese.
>1422 JAPAN, JORF 1249 weak with music.
>1566 REPUBLIC OF KOREA, 1253 fair with low audio.
>1575 THAILAND, VOA 1253 good with man in Asian language. Best signal this
> season. 1259-1300 4 VOA ids. "Welcome to the Voice of America in

>1593 CHINA, CRN1 1227 fair // 5030.
OK, guys, see what you can do tomorrow morning!
best wishes,
Nick
