Hi Bruce,

Well, you are receiving some mid-band and high-band TP's that I don't hear, so maybe everything balances out in the long run? 819-NK, 945-China, 963-CRI and 981-CNR1 have yet to reach audio level here this season.

There is pretty strong evidence that the PL-380 + FSL combination favors the low-band, at the expense of the high-band. The same kind of tradeoff seemed to occur this summer on the Oregon coast during the July DXpeditions, when you guys had far more high-band DU loggings than I did.

73, Gary

It was another good morning for TPs here.  The North Korean on 819 
managed to poke through next to my 820 local again, and Japanese 
stations on 585 and 1287 finally showed some audio.   The South Korean 
on 1170 was in well enough for a readable "KBS World Radio" ID behind 
semi-local KPUG.  The mystery of the day was a weak Chinese station on 
891.  I wish I knew who that was.  There's also something coming in at 
times under the 972 Korean.

I'm still not hearing much on 603 and 738.  Somehow, they both manage to 
fly over my house and plop down with a thud in Gary's back yard.
