Hi Nick, Thanks for your report of this morning's TP's. Early this morning around 0900 UTC there was also fair audio here on 594, 738, 747 and 972 kHz, plus decent carriers on 666, 1053 and 1134 kHz. This was far more impressive than the local sunrise period, but still probably not worth checking at such a bizarre hour. The December doldrums seem to have arrived in force. With lots of admiration for you and Bill Block sticking out the lackluster conditions every day, I'll probably leave the TP-chasing to others until the band improves. There are just too many DSP ultralight models that need to be hot-rodded. 73, Gary DeBock. In a message dated 12/9/2009 9:56:58 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Again, sunrise enhancement was a misnomer....several visits to the radio over 1420 to 1600UT showed only carriers for the most part, with the big guns occasionally showing wretched audio in the splatter. Below 600 kHz was very quiet this morning at 1600UT, so weak NHK-1 audio was heard on 567 // 594 Checked the SDR14 files, and in contrast, at 0858UT, 567 and 594 were both pretty readable, though not in parallel until the pips on the hour. At 1300, CNR-1 on 639 and Mayak on 576 were heard also, but quite weak. So, better than at sunrise, but still not that good... best wishes, Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ 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]
