Colin,

Very nice! I am looking forward to a couple of days on the northern CA coast next week replete with one of Gary DeBock's excellent airport friendly FSLs. Hopefully the propagation dieties will look down favorably at me during that time!

 Probably the best conditions in the
 last couple of weeks - which is not
 saying much -
 But still feeling like something of an
 upside down season -
 
 Here is a video of one of the
 stand-outs: Korea on 972 Khz on the W/NW Flag
 
 https://youtu.be/3BBBZ02iSnU
 
 The "sensitive" end of the FLAG is only
 around 20' away from my neighbours
 house so I am kind of at the mercy of
 what ever wall-wart he has plugged in
 AND
 he is installing a heat pump in a few
 weeks SO FINGERS CROSSED that it does
 not
 become yet another noise source - My
 neighbour to the NE has a solar array
 on his roof that, during the day,
 blaffs out a huge buzz every 100 khz
 between 13 Mhz and 30 Mhz - at night -
 pretty much all quiet.
 
 Anyway - it was "Fair to at times good"
 today with audio starting at 558
 khz and working up pretty much every
 "fairly clear" 9 khz split (away from
 the splashers...) all the way up to
 1593 with an odd gap between 1400 and
 1500 khz - the video shows the screen
 grabs from the Hall-Patch radar.

 Good audio on all the top tier Japanese
 NHK stations - lots of tier two
 commercial JJ stations
 as well as some North Koreans and 2nd
 tier South Koreans in the mix: 558,
 603, 621, 819, 855...
 
 1053 Khz was large but with a combo of
 Japanese and Korean and no sign of
 the jammer whatsoever.
 
 So - curious to see what everyone else
 heard.
 
 DRAKE R8 - W/NW Flag - remote VACTROL
 termination control.
