[IRCA] Arizona TP report, March 10th



I finally had a chance to put together a summary of this mornings good TP
reception and put together some audio.  Although I was making an SDR
recording, I also worked this one live.  This was with my 7' x 24'
Superloop, pointed 300 degrees, about 10 degrees south of Japan.  (I
usually shade the antenna a bit south in the hope that some day I'll get
something from Hawaii or Australia and pointing directly at those isn't
very practical for me.)

Activity was already in progress when I started a little before 1200 UT
(5am MST), and this turned into quite good reception.  It started out
mostly on the low-end of the band, but the upper-end kicked in by around
1225 UT.  By far the best activity was during the 12UT hour, with a
decrease near the end of the hour.  Some stations were doing pretty well
after 13UT, including 1566 HLAZ out of Korea, but in general activity
wasn't very good then.  Activity totally fizzled out by local sunrise at
1347 UT (6:47am).  The real surprise was the strength of 1134, presumably
HLKZ out of Korea, producing brief bursts of fair audio.

Good audio: 1566
Fair audio: 747, 774, 1134
Weak audio: 693, 828, 972, 1422, 1557, 1593
Marginal audio: 558, 567, 594, 1053, 1197, 1287, 1386, 1413, 1575
Carriers (mostly weak): 603, 819, 864, 873, 1008, 1143, 1188, 1206, 1224,
1242, 1278, 1314, 1332, 1521, 1546, 1584, 1593, 1602, and maybe more
