I think 1160 late afternoon is your best bet for Maine, that is if you don't have a local to contend with from there. Maybe early morning would also work. Jim Renfrew. On Wed, Dec 20, 2017 at 1:00 AM, Martin Foltz wrote: > Interesting. When I DXed from Michigan in the

Interesting. When I DXed from Michigan in the 70's and early 80's I only heard 2 Vermont stations. WVMT-620, not enough for a report, and WCFR-1480 on their frequency check. I have a prepared card from WCFR. New England was always tough. I only heard New Hampshire and Rhode Island once each.

The signal strength monitor said that the Asians were jumping prior to about 1300UT. Only problem is that there really wasn't much leading up to sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today Reasonable audio at times

--- Begin Message --- Hi All: Vermont has always been tough for me. Still haven't logged it here. But back in the day the 1480 Springfield used to run a regular frequency check, which made the state a lot easier. I didn't discover daytime enhancement until I moved to Ohio. It's helped me with

2017-12-19 Thread Gary DeBock
The Asians once again slammed the Pacific island DU's with huge signals from 0830-1030, so apparently this is the usual Kona propagation pattern for December. Japan, Korea and China were all well represented, with several wild and wacky S9+ signals from the likes of 819-Pyongyang, 981-CNR1 and
