Re: [IRCA] Oregon Cliff Ultralight DU's for 7-18///no DUs in cliffless Victoria

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Good that the coastal cliff effect is still working Gary.   Here in 
Victoria, conditions were worse than on Tuesday, with maybe, just 
maybe, a trace of audio on 738 about 1210UT, but other than that,  a 
few carriers.   At least 1503 had a SAH which I haven't heard before.

Maybe tomorrow!

best wishes,

Nick
