[IRCA] Chinese and Korean TP-DX Recordings; Best of Season So Far

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
 
Although chasing Asian TP's in the back yard each morning doesn't exactly provide the same level of excitement as tracking down exotic DU's on an ocean side cliff while dodging 18-wheelers on Highway 101, the new season has provided some surprisingly strong second-tier TP's from both China and Korea so far. Most of the MP3's linked below pegged the PL-380's S/N display at the 25 maximum (indicated with a double asterisk**) and some of them were the strongest ever received here in 7 years (indicated with a triple asterisk***). In general the signals from Korea and China have seemed significantly stronger here than last year, although that may be due to a new 12" FSL antenna being used (which provides a major sensitivity boost over the 8" model).
