If I may be permitted to jog our memories... Dakar was 764/5 and Sierra Leone was 1205/6.
>From San Diego (Rancho Bernardo to the North of the city and with very good exposure to N and NE ) I had a few TA's in the mid/late 80's. Best is my tape of Norway 1314 made around Thanksgiving 1986 with a gal speaking after cl mx ended. Also audible when cx were best was some AA from Morocco 1044 (they get inland well as I nab them here or in Grafton WI sometimes) and Portugal 1035 was noted a few times with audible pop rock mx and once the 1062 //. I often had an open carrier pop on a few minutes prior to 0600z from 1404 Conakry but even at the Bev site around 1989 and aimed right at it, I couldn't keep it in long enough for the sign on, in spite of a clear steady S7 type OC. 73 KAZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Kaskey Family" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 1:16 PM Subject: Re: [IRCA] TPs and TAs on the West Coast > Pat, > > Memory here not so much anymore.
