Thanks Nick, 

There was a total eclipse of driving space on I-5 this afternoon as multiple Washington, BC and Alberta drivers combined to make the downtown Portland area a total zoo. 

The Lincoln City DU results were pretty flabbergasting in consideration of the modest equipment taken along for the trip (one 8" FSL, no SSB spotting receiver, one CC Skywave, etc.). This limited gear tracked down some pretty awesome DU signals, though, which should be posted tomorrow.

In spite of Gary's success down south, conditions in Victoria 
remained somewhat eclipsed this morning. 




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly): 

not today 


Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 

612 4QR man talking, woman on phone 1247UT, //702 






not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker: 

the above passing through 




Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music) 

594 JOAK despite other channels with ABC stations on them, this 
delivered weak NHK pips at 1300UT 
702 2BL man talking, woman on phone //612 1246UT 
774 man talking, Japanese inflection 1243UT 
855 4QO/4QB, man mumbling 1259UT, seemed //612; fanfare crept through at 1300UT 



Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter) 

747 1566 seemed to be Asian; 
738 891 1098 1548 seemed to be DU 



best wishes, 

Nick
