Re: [IRCA] 8 p.m. EDT / 0000 UTC: not that auroral yet

Slighty AU here at 9 and 10 PM CDT. Central and Western Canada stuff weak but 950 Crusin' from Denver is near entertainment level. 910 Denver in weakly and no trace of KSJB Minot. 1040 CO left day power on a couple hours late (as is common) and was bothering WHO. XET o/u CBW at 10 pm. KVTT TX with ethnic stuff and Pakistan ment and ID thru KFAB 1110.

73 KAZ Barrington IL Perseus and Broadside DKAZ Array aimed West.
