Re: [IRCA] 20 questions about annual DX conditions

["Doug Pifer - KE6GMM" <oregon4wd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill and Patrick,

Thanks for your input.  Interesting points. It's like I've always known 
about how the DX season evolves, but I've never really kept a close eye on 
the details... particularly in the last 10 years or so.   I usually 
(sometimes I don't) take a break during the summer and I don't always start 
back up on cue.  I think last season caught me off guard and I missed some 
good early DX opportunities. (Thank goodness for this group list and fact I 
was present for the TA's  last season!!!!) - that's something I'll never 
forget- not to mention my first Alaskans.  It's not my intent to re-cap last 
season, but I heard some stations that I thought I would never hear.

To continue on, I know some years are going to be better or worse, but 
overall has TP/split-channel DX really changed? (IBOC and more crowded 
channels aside.)  I would think that it hasn't.   Do Hawaiian stations fall 
under the same effects, perhaps to a lesser degree, as the other, further 
TPs?  I guess the reason I posed that question is that I caught 900 KNUI 
several years back and have tried hard to catch it again every year since 
with no luck. I've heard a few other Hawaiians, just not KNUI.   Anyways, 
enough questions for now.... I don't know what got into me, hi.
73- Doug
