Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-18

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

Two things -

I wish I could predict good prop as easily as bad.

And it was lackluster here in Grayland this morning too BUT even a mediocre day here is pretty good. Decent AK signals last night at sunset and this morning at sunrise for example.

Hope to get some sounds up today.

Now back to breakfast at the Blue Bouy!

The anemic Asians on 594, 972, 1134 and 1503 received no sunrise boost, sending them prematurely into the noise by 1510. On the other hand 693-JOAB's strength was pretty unusual for such mediocre conditions, hitting good peaks in and out during sunrise enhancement. It was the one bright spot of a pretty lackluster session, with its overall performance about the same as yesterday's. In general, though, Bill may discover that this morning's Grayland files are unlikely to be the high point of his trip.
