Hello All,
West coast DXers who were unimpressed by a mediocre sunrise TP
enhancement this morning may be interested to know that the early morning
(0930-1100) Asian sunset session was equally poor, and that they certainly didn't
miss any good DX. TP signals during both sessions were limited to the "big
guns," and they certainly didn't sound very big.
Around 1000 a couple of Asian powerhouses (747 and 1566) managed good
audio, but the great majority of TP's stayed asleep (which would have been
the right idea for DXers also, by the way). Night-owl Asian signals in
general were seriously down from yesterday's 0930-1100 session, and it seemed
unrealistic to set up the large loops in the cold back yard. The logical
option was to try for better propagation again, around sunrise.
The sunrise session started at 1430, and although everything was set
up to chase Asians as usual, the TP's seemed to be still asleep. Sunrise
enhancement brought Asian signals up to yesterday's anemic levels, with a few
big guns (594, 648 and 828) producing fair to good audio before the band
folded early, around 1520. The twin sessions produced about 4 decent "big
gun" TP signals between them, despite the seemingly favorable solar indexes.
Maybe the December doldrums are arriving early?
The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5"
loopstick) "barefoot" (0945-1030) and inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned
passive loop (1430-1520) in the back yard:
