Hi Guy, Thanks very much for your investigation, and I'm very pleased to log the relatively obscure 846-2RN with the Ultralight gear in Lincoln City (and record the MP3 with the RN identification). Rather than give credit to the Ultralight, modest loop, or half-asleep DXer, however, the credit should probably go to the South Pacific propagation to Lincoln City, Oregon, which has repeatedly allowed reception of many such obscure DU's on humble Ultralight gear this past month. I wish we had more time to investigate the phenomena, but Asiatic TP's were already starting to mix in with the DU's on 594, 657 and 666 kHz during the Lincoln City trip last week. Anyway, I sure know where I am headed for DU-chasing next summer :-) 73, Gary In a message dated 8/27/2010 10:30:26 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi Gary, Great job on catching 2RN with your ultralight radio setup. I took a look in the Grayland Master Log maintained by Chuck, and there are only two confirmed loggings of 2RN shown. One was in 1997 by David Clark (heard // 792 and 585), and the 2nd instance was a log by Jean Burnell (// 792). 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA http://fivebelow.squarespace.com > Message: 1 > Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:36:08 EDT > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP for 27 Aug from Victoria, BC > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > > Derek and All, > > After having a chance to listen carefully to the 846 kHz ABC station MP3 > recorded during the Lincoln City DXpedition, I noted that at 1:02 into the > recording there is indeed an "RN" spoken after the ABC network ID, so this > is apparently the 10 kw 2RN station in Canberra. > > This is yet another Aussie that never produced a trace for John B. or me, > during 7 combined ULR DXpeditions to Grayland. > > 73, Gary > > _______________________________________________ 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]
