Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-23

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

The Asians definitely didn't understand ionospheric absorption this 
morning in Victoria either, Gary.

Full report later, but the big guns in the low band remained big, and 
there was quite a good mix of second tier stations as well as you 
report; also, the collapse at 1400UT was similar.

I was expecting Aussies, but none to be found at first glance.

best wishes,

Nick
