Re: [IRCA] TP's for Wednesday 12/14/11 (big improvement) and Dec 15th

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, sorry for the delay, but work related activities has tied me up.  I
quickly looked back at my Perseus wav files from 15:52 to just past the
TOH.  By 16:00 things were fading down again.  The upper band was very good
earlier, though!  SF 133, A3, K (12:00) 0.  No space weather reported.  I
started listening at 14:45 and then again a few minutes before 16:00.  As
always, a "6" unless otherwise noted.  Most reception was all towards 16:00:

1098 (OC), 1242, 1287, 1359 (6+ late....definitely CNR1)
1422:  7 level
1458:  6+ with lots of splatter
1494:  6+
1557:  8 level WYFR plus ? a cochannel
1566:  booming in at 9+ level at 15:51 HLAZ
1575:  8 level VOA at 15:51
1593:  7 to 7.5 CNR1
1602

That was it for the 14th.  This morning was also down somewhat, but I again
had little time to monitor.  What was different were the lower band JJ
stations coming in relatively well.  I suspect that Nick had better
reception than I did, looking at his DX Fishbarrel.  774, and 828 were both
at 7 to 8 level.  The upper band was down a bit compared to yesterday.  All
this around 14:30 to 14:45 UTC.  73,   Walt
