As much as I would like to chide Gary with reports of widespread multi-continental receptions on all bands and all frequencies, it was more of a case of squeezing a dehydrated lemon into an empty martini glass. No one showed up for the party... or any party for that matter.
If there could have been less than zero, today was it. I jumped out of bed at 13:55 and sprinted directly to the SRFLA-50 and its newly mated Sony 2010... only to hear... domestics. When it became abundantly clear that there would be no trans-oceanic reception, I snooped around 900 and 940 looking for Hawaii - I have encountered Korean programming on 900 while at Jordan River and maybe some this morning - but pretty sure it was not Hawaii. Within 5 minutes it was confirmed - the only whines, whistles or squeals were between my middle-aged ears. Funny that in 4 days of abandoning amateur radio in favor of 100% medium-wave listening, I have been rewarded with nothing but punishment. Another day tomorrow. Colin lives in Victoria... in the shadow of DXers like Walter and Nick... using radios like the Sony 2010 and antennas built by people like Gary Debock... _______________________________________________ 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]
