Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-4

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Mauno,
 
Thanks for sharing the Asian propagation results yesterday morning from  
your location, and from Lapland. Thanks also for sharing the interesting  link.
 
Our 1430-1500 sunrise enhancement propagation from China yesterday was very 
 unusual for this Fall Season, which generally has not lived up to DXing  
expectations here (on the North American west coast). With Nick, Tom  and I 
all noticing the same great signal boost from China, it was quite an  
exciting morning, especially in comparison to the mediocre TP signals  prevalent in 
late October.

Interesting, checking yesterday's files here on the other side of  the 
northern hemisphere the top conditions to Asia were around 1200 and  then 
started to drop. In Lapland, 700 km north the top was around 1300:
