KONG22 - Thursday Morning

If 5:28 is to be considered "morning"... Geomagnetic activity has been quite low the last 24 hours, which should give us fair conditions towards North America, Asia and the Pacific. Instead, conditions have been very much on the dull side all Wednesday. For the first time on KONG22, there was no trace of Marshall Islands and Kiribati, and Japan was mostly absent. Plenty of time to check recordings, email, facebook, or whatever else needed a check.

I had plenty of time to send off a reception report for the 1512 kHz Koriyama relay of JOFD NHK-2 Fukushima, and received a friendly and very detailed email response this morning.

So, how was dinner Wednesday? To make it simple (conditions seem to be picking up), here's what OJ wrote on the KONG22 weblog:

For dinner we started off with pan-fried fresh dates, wrapped in bacon. Very nice combination of salt and sweet. Main course was rack of lamb with herbs, garlic and Dijon mustard served with Bjarne's herb-mashed potatoes. With this we had a Chateauneuf-de-Pape from Clos des Brusquiéres 2006. For dessert we had another sweet & salt combo - half-baked chocolate-amaretto-espresso cake with smoked Maldon sea salt flakes on top served with Mas Amiel. Yummm!
