Good low frequency condx last night ...
 

First night off work (I work night shift), so of course I spent time on the
radio!

Heard my first transpacific medium wave signals (carriers only) ... 738, 846,
1017, and 1503khz peaking at about 0800z, pretty much gone by 0930z. Also had
very nice signal on Alice Springs, Australia 2310khz and a weak 2325khz,
peaking at 0900z, also gone by 0930z. Didn't hear anyone on 160m ham band, and
only LU6FFL in Argentina working west coast USA on 75 meter ssb. I spun the
dial across longwave a few times, heard lots of Canadian aero beacons with
pretty good sigs.

Latest sunspot numbers are low so clean up those wires and start looking low !

That's great news ! I'm glad things are improving. I have never heard an am
station from overseas. Way to go :)

Though I haven't heard TP hets, I keep hearing hets on frequencies like 890,
1310, 1410 and others.
