[IRCA] not much TP for 4 Dec from Victoria, BC (any?)

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Amazingly poor conditions!   The solar and  geomagnetic conditions are completely flat, and so was the DX.   Things were not helped by a new local noise source, but there didn't seem much there to be concealed by the noise. 

Many of the big guns didn't even make it to audio when I checked; 774 was best and never more than mildly readable.   873 was the other NHK2 signal of any regularity, and not there that much anyway.  Only other thing unusual was that when a weak signal showed on 1593 and seemed NHK2 (hard to get a parallel) rather than the more common CNR1.  

Having said that, 1575 had just about as good quality audio at 1615UT as it did at 1415 or 1515UT. 

Maybe Steve Ratzlaff can weigh in on longwave conditions.


best wishes,

Nick
