[IRCA] 1566 in NE Oregon

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxx>]

Conditions were much like yesterday at first, with the usual LWBC 153, 180, 
189, 234, 279 heard, and many MW hets with 828 with audio around 1310 utc. 
PNG's KUT and GA also heard then. Soon after 774 and 594 had audio, 1318 
utc.
With local sunrise at 1501 utc, 1566 began as weak audio at 1444utc, rising 
to medium/loud at 1515utc, near-armchair level at times. 1593 was weak audio 
at the same time. I continued to check 1566 every now and then. Signals were 
better on the vertical wire with ALA100 than the longwire for 1566, but the 
JJ stations were better on the wire. (The loop is aimed NW/SE, 100' 
circumference.) At 1605 utc, occasional audio was still heard. At 1630 utc 
many hets still heard--1197, 1053, 1044, 1035, 972, 954, 936, 828, 744, 747, 
738, 729, 639, 594, 567, 558. 693 had weak audio. By 1634 utc 1566's het was 
finally gone. I shifted to 693, and back to the wire. By 1730 utc 594 was 
the only one left, with a weak het.
