[IRCA] First Day Back: TPs from Orcas Island

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Was up at 4AM local time, 1100 UT, with the body still on Eastern 
time from Peru.  Checked early and the usual JJ suspects were 
there.  Korea and China came along later and my general impression 
was that it was an "OK" morning, but nothing special. With Local dawn 
at 1403, I DXed seriously from 1300 on to fade out about 1420.  There 
were no DUs audible to me, except 1701.05 running at just above the 
mumble level, very late.

I'll overlay my notes on Walt's, with mine second. And in BLUE for 
those receiving this directly

Well, that is it.... Its great to be home, one of the best parts of 
travel :>) All seems right with the TP world in this neighborhood.... 
Walt hears DUs better than me, because he is 20 miles closer to the 
open Pacific.  I heard Asia a bit better than him, because my Asia 
antenna looks directly up the Gulf of Georgia, between Vancouver 
Island and the Mainland.

I'll finally have a report on my largely unsuccessful morning DXing 
on the beach near Chiclayo, Peru in a few days.  There are three 
UNIDs that I want to try to solve first.

Good to be home.... was on 8 different flights in two weeks. I can 
remember clearly when flying was a privilege and was both comfortable 
and FUN! Some things about the Old Days W*E*R*E good!
