several "Big Gun" Aussies did their best to compete with the usual Kiwi
regulars on several frequencies. 531-PI, 567-RNZ, 594-3WV and 603-Radio
Waatea all managed to peg the PL-380 S/N display at various times this
morning, with 531-PI (a 5 kW Samoan language station in Auckland, NZ)
accomplishing this for the first time on any cliff trip. Some marginal
Chinese was received on 936 around 1225 (indicating probable reception of
the 1 kW New Supremo station in NZ) and 585-2WEB (Bourke, Australia, 10 kW)
was apparently back for the first time in 2 years with weak classic rock at
1250.
>      Despite the unusually vibrant signals the DU propagation didn't
stick around much past 1320, so the period of peak sunrise enhancement was
relatively short (from 1230-1300). The 8-man Yachats DXpedition group was
planning to start its Perseus-SDR recording sessions this morning, so I'll
be interested to hear how their multi-elevation antenna results come out.
At least for the Standard (single-optimized frequency) version of the 12"
FSL antenna used here, the DU-DXing results have been all that I could have
hoped for during the past couple of days.
