Re: [IRCA] So, How was DX in 2010?

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Well, things started off well last year with logging Czechia on 639 
early in January, sort of a reprise of the great fall conditions of 
2009.  Unfortunately, after that things were only mildly exciting 
much of the time through the spring.  A number of loggings of an 
echoey Chinese on 1476 was perhaps the best springtime TP, and I 
believe I had   Absolute-1215 heard in March, though very faint by 
the end of the month.   Interesting TA carriers in the summer months, 
783 and 1566 primarily, but never any audio.

This last fall was quite a bust compared with the year previous, 
especially in TAs, or in the lack of them, but even TPs really lasted 
only until later in October, and became harder and harder to find as 
time wore on...I'd say conditions have been generally poorer than 
geomagnetic conditions would indicate.   Fall of 2009 was quite a 
benchmark, so it's been a rapid decline in overseas conditions.

best wishes,

Nick
