[IRCA] Seasonal TA dx logs

[Sylvain Naud <esnaud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Filling the gap between the excellent Allan Willies' TA reports, I'll 
take the opportunity to share mine. I'm used to publish a report for 
each season and after finally making up for lost time, here's my last 
Fall and Winter log reports (mostly TAs):

Logs were compiled using Jürgen Bartels' StationList software 
http://zeiterfassung.3sdesign.de/station_list.htm along with the Perseus.

Despite conditions not as sparkling as they were a year ago, I did 
manage with a bit of luck to hear an unID Chinese at 1098 KHz in last 
December. This is the second Asian station I've heard at my sunset:

Thanks again to Bruce Portzer and Chuck Hutton for helping on this one 
through the RealDX list.

...also ERA 2 on 1512 KHz from Crete who was heard here for a couple of 
weeks in early April gave some interesting results. Here's how it boomed 
at one time on April 9th at 02:51 UTC:
