Re: [IRCA] TPs for 24Aug09: DU all the way (but late)

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Walt,
 
Your DU morning enhancement certainly continues for a much longer duration  
than the watered-down version here. It must be related to the salt water  
environment of Victoria, compared to the solid rock of the hills around  
Puyallup (including the southwest direction).
 
 This morning only 738-Tahiti made it to modest audio  (1255), although 
612-4QR and 639-Fiji were pretty close to threshold level  at the same time. 
The DU's followed their typical pattern here, going from weak  carriers at 
1245 to moderate strength at 1255, only to fizzle out by 1305.  This strange, 
ultra-short DU propagation has been observed during four  of the last seven 
days here, so it must be the regular August situation in  this 
hill-surrounded valley (when using some large passive loops).
 
73, Gary

Missed  the  boat today, getting up not until 13:24.  The DUs must have 
been  very good again, with 612 still booming in at an 8 to 9 level.  Best so  
far I’ve heard them this year!  Weak audio still on 639 (but still as  
strong a carrier as Brisbane).  Audio on 531, 576, (both weak), 585  (music at 
13:27 at 7), 594, 702 (both weak), 738 (very good RFO at  13:29),  747 (DU), 
756, 774 (also DU…all 3 weak at 13:31),  801  (pretty strong audio with music 
at 13:32 on S wire), 846, 963 (both  weak).  Now up to the top of the 
X-band:
Weak audio on 1701 with at  least 3 almost equal carriers noted and weak 
audio), 1656 with a decent  carrier and almost audio (at 13:37), 

SF noted to be 67, A3/K0.  A  totally DU morning, but that may simply be 
since I started listening too late  for the Asiatics.  Wish I had been 
listening a little earlier!  The  best DU I’ve heard so far this season.        
73s,   Walt Salmaniw, Victoria,  BC
