Re: [IRCA] Nov. 7th: Ionosphere Delivers a Gold Mine to the Pacific NW

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

I agree that it was a better morning than the last two have been, 
Guy, but that wasn't a high benchmark.

But, for the most part, it wasn't really hopping here, I'm afraid, at 
least during my live listening 1430-1510UT.  I did log JOIG-648, 
noted for the first time here only a month ago, so that wasn't bad, 
but it was "extreme minimalist DX" with a careful null of 650 and 
some imaginative listening...pretty clear though with JOAK in one ear 
and JOIG in the other.

We'll see what the files deliver.  The first go round didn't seem to 
have any Chinese, and there were a couple yesterday.

best wishes,

Nick
