Hi Steve, Thanks for the rundown of the DU's in NE Oregon on Friday. I was indeed listening carrefully for DU's on Friday morning in your home state (at Lincoln Beach), and found it fantastic. DXing with a C.Crane SWP Slider (with the Murata filter installed by you) inductively coupled to a new 4' portable PVC Loop, I made nice MP3's of 558-Radio Fiji One (all alone), a solid recording of an ABC station on 846 kHz (with ABC ID), and a strong 1017 kHz mix of Radio Tonga island music and the 2KY Australian horse racing station (with both alternating in dominance). Both John B. and I had received 1017-Radio Tonga before at Grayland, but I'm pretty sure that the other 3 stations had never been previously received by ULR's on the west coast. Many other nice DU's also showed up again, like 603-Radio Waatea in NZ. The LW conditions were also great, with the new stand-alone 7.5" LW loopstick PL-380 solidly receiving all 5 Radio Rossii LW-TP's (153, 180, 189, 234 and 279 kHz) yesterday morning, with 4 nice MP3's made. I plan to write up the full DXpedition report (and upload various MP3's) shortly, but as far as DU propagation to Lincoln Beach, the vacation was all I could have hoped for. Oregon state is great! :-) 73, Gary DeBock (back in Puyallup, WA) In a message dated 8/20/2010 6:42:58 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I predict if Gary DeBock was listening this morning at the Oregon coast that he had super reception of DUs, as even far inland here they were much better than usual. Many MW hets. 585 very poor DU talk; 702 poor EE pop music; 738 poor EE pop music; 792 very poor DU talk; 891 the best with medium DU talk presumed 5AN; 1116 weak DU talk presumed 4BC, all in the 1305-1320 utc time. 891 the last to fade away around 1320. Big het on 1071, don't remember that before. Far East Russia, Radio Rossii good this morning, 153, 180, 189, 234, 279 at 1200 utc. 73, Steve NE Oregon R75, longwires _______________________________________________ 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]
