Hello All,
After reading Nick's long report of vibrant TP's from 1130-1300 yesterday it certainly seemed like my lackluster sunrise enhancement session (after 1300) got the short end of the propagation stick. The Asian results after 1300 this morning were very similar to yesterday's, leading me to conclude that Nick once again probably managed to receive the "main course" from 1130-1300, while I ended up with the "leftovers."
At my 1300 start time a couple of Koreans (972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer) were managing fair to good audio, but they slid downhill from there. "Sunrise enhancement" was once again missing in action, with no propagation boost at all. Some anemic audio from 594-JOAK, 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang was in and out of the noise from 1310-1320, but these ghostly signals didn't stick around for long. Overall the session was almost an exact repeat of yesterday's, with the same cast of characters on a slow downhill slide. Lacking Nick's ability to record DX during the earlier hours I'll probably need to wait for better sunrise enhancement propagation before coming away with more than the usual suspects on 594, 603, 657, 972 and 1053.
73 and Good DX,
