Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/02/12

Richard,

This early morning the TP signals during the Japanese sunset period (around 0930 UTC) were much weaker here than they were yesterday. Almost no TP audio at all was received, in comparison to strong audio from the big guns on 594, 747, 972 and 1566 kHz around 0900-0950 UTC early yesterday morning.

During the month of November there is usually a TP signal boost here in North America during the Asian sunset period, but it may be strong, weak, or non-existent. A good indication of its potential strength is when there are many reports of exceptional sunset skip signals from the west coast into the Midwest the night before-- such as what happened a couple of days ago. Nick Hall-Patch also received his long-range TP's on Prince Edward Island this week during the Asian sunset skip propagation.

A poor morning here for TP DX. There was a slight trace of signals on 747 and
774 kHz following sunset in northern Japan. Later at local sunrise (1254 GMT),
there was a trace of a signal on 1566 kHz. Heterodynes were received from DU on
558, 612, 702 and 891 kHz. The weakest was on 702 (2BL?) fading away by sunrise.
The strongest was on 612 (4QR?) with QRM from KCSP. No signal was heard on 738
kHz.

Receivers: PL-310's with 7.5-inch ferrite stick and 7-inch FSL antennas.

Good DX.
