>>I never thought it would be that easy to get so many signals from the old world in NF(especially using small pocket receivers) since I didn't manage to ever get anything from NB when I was living there but I guess the domestics don't reach the east coast of NF as easily. I always knew I ended up on the wrong coast as far as radio goes but I'd rather not have to deal with winter anymore after putting up with snow and freezing temps for the first half of my life.But one thing about TAs has puzzled me after seeing Allen Willie's report (also previously) and that is that The Canary Islands on 1008 consistantly makes it across but not the more powerful Dutch station on 1008 while other Dutch stations of lesser power do.I don't know for sure but I would say that distance wise Holland is closer than Canary, I haven't checked that out so I could be wrong. The list includes multiple signals on several splits but not on 1008. Strange.<<
I thought through the years after I heard everything I could on the West Coast, It would be great to move to New England to hear and QSL all of those cool TAs and LAs, but I am with you as far as the weather goes. I could probably move to the interior of AK or along the North Coast and log a lot of TAs as they are very common all Winter. At my age I could not take zero temps or lower and Nor Easterns on the East Coast. I lived in AK for over 12 years and I would not want that weather back and New England can be worse watching the snow and blizzard conditions back there. I guess if I was depedendantly wealthy and could travel back and forth from one coast to the other at will, I might consider it. hi. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR 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]
