Hi Walt,
Yes, interesting that KOTZ seemed to be getting out so well today.
That was a new log for me. Maybe traces in the mud before, but that was
it. I'd love to hear Barrow too, but with Edmonton also on 680 (plus a
station in Montana), it's not likely to happen. I never say never
though. Have noticed some interesting reception from the north the past
few days. Yesterday I had the 40 watt CBC repeater from High Level
on1560, one I've logged at Don Moman's place but never here. Also had
Prince Rupert on 860 and noted an echo during the news, indicating that
I was hearing another CBC outlet. Could have been one of the 40 watt
repeaters in BC, or, even more intriguingly, possibly Inuvik. One to
watch. We've had 1575 Farda and 1548 Sawa up at Don's as early as
1530 (though in Dec, not Oct), but not down here yet. As far as I know,
my log of Sri Lanka last week was the first time we've heard that one in
Alberta. India (not to mention Bangladesh!) remains on the wish list.
I'm certainly not complaining though, as I've added 6 new coutnries to
the log in October.
73,
Nigel

Hi, Nigel. Just catching up on my emails. It's incredibly difficult to stay
current at the cottage, and in town, I'm reduced to walking around outside
looking for a temporary Wi-Fi to piggy back on! Interesting that you also
heard KOTZ as I did. Even here (up at the cottage), I don't hear them very
often (or possibly it's my first definite reception). Barrow was also making
it down nicely. Both with NPR type programming, but also look for the really
long weather forecasts! In KOTZ's instance, it was at 14:30 UTC. A good
coincidence for sure. I also was getting good signals from Kuwait/UAE/Sri
Lanka and India this morning. To the Albertan fellas ever try for
Farda/Sawa/DW SL in the mornings? I should think they're doable.
