[IRCA] Good TP Morning at the Coast

[Patrick Martin <mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

Between my work schedule and everything else, I have been unable to get
to the dials early enough to really test out the R8 since I got it back
repaired last Summer for TPs. Well, this morning I finally did. I
started at 1320 UTC and the R8 works as good as it ever did, if not
better. The dial was pretty decent here. Nothing new logged, but a lot
of my old friends were back including Vietnam-675, Thailand-891 (S9 at
times), and even DZEC-1062, the old Filipino that poped out of the
jumble to say hi, with a nice ID at 1403.

9/23. (PM-OR)
