Patrick-
Well, Thule-1425 was heard here in Mass in the late 60's/early 70's by Gordon Nelson & others. I was just never in the right place at the right time. But I'm sure you are correct that it is related to the Auroral Zone. I'm no expert but I guess The Zone has to be quite small in order to enable propagation from that latitude (Thule is at 77º40'22N) to the US (Boston is at 42º21'42N). Anyway, that window is open right now and we are enjoying it. Three of us here on Cape Cod have heard 720 during the past week and one, Roy Barstow in Falmouth, has heard Faroe Islands-531. I'm home sick from work today so I will try for 531 myself around local sunset. 73, Marc DeLorenzo South Dennis, MA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Martin" <[email protected]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 2:04:42 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [IRCA] Greenland-720 Marc, It probably has something to do with the AU Zone. I was surprised with Thule back in 1975. I wish I would have known then what I know how and also had the antennas. It may have been a great TA night too. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
