I live approx. 120 miles away from the Pacific Ocean (and across a mountain range) on the 302 degree bearing to Japan from my home southeast of Seattle. Trans-Pacific MW stations don't often make it this far inland and/or stand out from the local MW "blowtorches". This week, however, has been an excellent one for TP reception in the Pacific NW.
The morning of October 9, though, was especially good. Take a listen to the DX clips below, heard in Puyallup on a 35 ft. wide X 40 ft. high "Conti" terminated loop antenna and Perseus SDR: JOIB Sapporo is on 747, which was barrelling into Puyallup at 1400 UTC: www.guyatkins.com/files/sdr/joib_sapporo_747_home_09oct2008.mp3 Also over the 1400 UTC top-of-the-hour was 963 China Radio International in Russian: www.guyatkins.com/files/sdr/cri_963_home_09oct2008.mp3 and at the same 1400 UTC time here is 972 HLCA: www.guyatkins.com/files/sdr/hlca_972_home_09oct2008.mp3 All three are easy catches from the Grayland DXpedition site and other coastal locations in the Pacific Northwest. To hear them this well in the RF Jungle of greater Seattle over a hundred miles from the coast was a treat!
