Perhaps another reason I missed most of the morning was the wind.  When it's blowing in the fall and winter, it's usually a south-wester which blows right at our bedroom window making it hard to sleep!  I'll look forward to seeing your entire report, Colin..Walt. - Original Message

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 7 Oct 2008

My first morning back after being away, and sounds like quite the morning out on the coast. Here in Alberta it was certainly a good morning, but by no means the best of the season. It was unusual in that both TPs and DUs were coming in at the same time, which is quite rare here. Audio noted:

[IRCA] Reporting QTH

As far as I'm concerned, this is strictly up to the individual DXer. For instance, I decided years ago that I wasn't going to distinguish between my own personal records for Grayland and Orcas Island, as far as TPs were concerned and I haven't and don't plan to, EXCEPT where contests

John, I am the same way, unless I apply for an award or something. Then I always separate the loggings/QSLs. I have collected QSLs from Seasde/Warrenton, Portland, Rancho Mirage CA, and Seward AK through the years. 90% have been from the Oregon coast though. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL

I figured out one day that I have heard about 4000 unique AM stations, with about 1500 QSLs and about 3000 recorded. (I also have DXed TV, FM, and SW.) But that is from at least 12 different sites. Over the years I have kept totals from six sites, but right now only one. As far as hearing

I have a fairly modern Kenwood system (Sirius enabled) in the Civic Sedan that I often set it to 9khz this time of year - especially when I am commuting around LSR. Not surprising, most decent car radios perform well on AM - and FM and the Kenwood is no exception. Once again, selectivity is a
