Re: [IRCA] TP's for Monday 10/17/11

Hi Dennis,

Well, if what I heard here in Puyallup this morning was any indication, 
Guy and Kevin may have had a good reason to sleep in during their last 
morning at Grayland. Conditions here were just as miserable as in 
Kalama, with only 1566-HLAZ managing fair audio around 1300 (and 
dropping fast).

It's very tricky to schedule a DXpedition with the solar actvity so 
wild, like during this year. My one-week trip to Lincoln City in July 
also suffered from dicey propagation, with the DU's showing up on only 
3 out of the 7 days. As you know from your own Grayland trips, you 
always take your chances when heading for the beach, and this year the 
propagation is especially unpredictable.

73, Gary

This morning had to be the worse MW conditions for TP's in years. 
 Reception
was much better in mid August than this morning.  Only 1 TP made it with
audio here, JOBB 828 with a weak signal.   3 Radio Rossii long waves 
were
received.   Local racetrack Portland Meadows opens today, hope I can do 
better
there.  Can not wait to read what Gary & Guy heard at Grayland.  

153       RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1339-1343 fair signal with talk and 
music.
189       RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1343 good signal with music then talk.
279       RUSSIA, Radio Rossii 1344 poor signal with talk.
828       JAPAN, JOBB NHK2 1415 weak at best with Japanese talk.
