Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-9

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Excellent TP conditions today especially to Asia highlights include many
Filipino stations and the TP conditions continued to well past 1800 UT C.
Nice ID on DHRA on the low side of 666. Also 1575 AFN Japan with local IDs
and at least two or possibly all three stations being present. 73 from
Masset. Walt Salmaniw
