[IRCA] Oregon Cliff (Rockwork 4) Ultralight DU's for 6-26 --Grayland version

1035 was the kingpin frequency at Grayland Gary, and although Chuck was unimpressed, that might have been familiarity, which I am lacking.   It sure sounded at times like New Zealand was not far away from Grayland from about 1210-1230UT this morning.   There's lots of listening to recordings to be done yet, but hearing Zedders (some presumed; Australia was pretty much a no show) on  792 (sports), 1017, 927, 981, 1458 etc. sure made my morning, and NZ conditions seemed considerably better than yesterday.

But even though Australia wasn't there, a completely unexpected JOAK-594 showed up, quite readable, at 1139UT....geomagnetic upsets are for the small fry when you're a big gun NHK I guess.  And the latest forecast geomagnetic storm seems to have been downgraded, so maybe more Japanese here tomorrow?

best wishes,

Nick

By 1300 even the Kiwis were tanking it, though, which seems pretty typical for this >late June period. The big stars of the morning were the Maori parallels on 603 and 765-- both of which managed several S9 peaks with their distinctive Polynesian music 684-Rhema also put on a great show, and 1008-Newstalk ZB >had about the strongest signal it's ever managed for me at this location. 531-PI reclaimed its usual dominant position over its Aussie co-channels, but not without several nasty snarls.
