Because of interference and noise at home, I decided to drive up to the usual remote listening site for the R. St. Helena Day Revival.
RX: JRC NRD-535D ANT: 44' Dipole (cut for 11092 khz!!!) 15°-195°, 394' BOG at 95°, and 315' BOG at 50° QTH: Pennsylvania State Game Lands #26 Duration: 1800-2240 UTC Solar Indices: S.F. = 86 A Index = 6 K Index = 2 No storms. ST. HELENA 11092.5U R. St. Helena 1804-2232 I'll spare the details. Nothing at 1800 on the African (394') BOG, but very slight audio on the Dipole when I finished getting it up at 1804. Finally slightly readable by 1900, and quite good by 2000. Even better during their European beam later. Heard back at home also. (Valko 4-5 Nov.) ISRAEL 6985 Kol Israel 1841-1845 W w/nx and wx in EG ending w/"...a very goodnight from Jerusalem". Slightly better on the Dipole. (Valko 4 Nov.) IRAN 6250 VOIRI (pres.) Apparently this is the one first noted at 1848, and later in EG at 1933. QRM from Zamaneh below. (Valko 4 Nov.) EQUATORIAL GUINEA 5005 R. Nac. Bata Extremely weak carrier here at 1909. Same for 4976 Uganda, and 4845 Mauritania, but that was all that was noted on 60m at the time. By 1935, 4940 Sao Tome, 4835.4 Mali, and 4770 Nigeria joined in. Oddly, the Dipole was just as good as the 394' African BOG on the 60m Africans. And not really surprising, 11735 Zanzibar was better on the Dipole than on the 394' African BOG. 73 Dave ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Preorder your WRTH 2007: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0953586499/hardcoredxcom/ ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
