[IRCA] TP for 25Sep09 from Victoria: Superb JJ morning

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

OK, as John mentioned yesterday, it's difficult to call yet another morning, "best of the season", or "best ever", but this morning I was blown away with the wealth of rarely heard frequencies, especially on the lower half of the band and especially from Japan.  Wow!  Now the upper band may have been as good, but with all the digging in the bottom half, perhaps it was simply too far past dawn before I got to the upper channels.  I'm not complaining, though!  I started only at 13:18, having come home after midnight from a marathon delivery session last night.  SF 75, K1, A1.  "6" unless otherwise noted.
