[IRCA] Michigan AU logs: Aug.26th, 2018

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Instead of chasing Pacific carriers Sunday morning on the western BOGs, I
found myself scrambling in the dark to get temporary feedlines setup from
the shack to the South DKAZ to take advantage of the au conditions.  With
just a few minutes to spare, I managed to kickoff a spectrum recording
covering the 7am / 11:00 UTC TOH.  Later review exposed a pipeline into
Texas including several new TX logs.
