1269 has a strong enough carrier but the 1270 CJCB/WTSN mix is very strong here, mucking up the 1269 audio most of the time.
1422 Germany and Algeria take turns here; both can be loud. 1125 is usually Spain // many other RNE's. Belgium occasionally shows up. UK channels 693, 882, 909, 1053, 1089, 1215, and 1458 are all typically good when the propagation is working that way. France regulars: 603, 711, 792, 837, 864, 945, 1206, 1242, 1377, 1467, 1494, 1557. Here on the East Coast, southerly TA's avoid the auroral zone best, so we hear a lot of Spain, Algeria, Morocco, Canaries, etc. even when the UK, Germany, and Netherlands are struggling to make it. Out west, the northerly TA's can miss the auroral absorption "doughnut" by skipping with low loss in the central "hole" region even as more southerly stations get absorbed. Some of the even channels make it during good conditions; these include: 630 Tunisia, Portugal 720 Canaries, Portugal 810 BBC Scotland, SER Spain, Macedonia 900 Saudi Arabia 990 Spain, Germany 1080 Spain, Iran 1170 UAE 1260 Spain (tough here with CKHJ/WMKI loud mess) 1350 France (through CKAD) 1440 Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia 1530 Sao Tome, Romania, Vatican Some DXers will be in PEI in November. See "http://www.bamlog.com/2013planning.htm";. As Allen Willie stated, there will be action in Newfoundland. Up there Cappahayden might also be activated. Then there are the typical "mini-DXpedition" efforts around sunset at coastal sites here in the New England states. It should be interesting. Mark Connelly, WA1ION South Yarmouth, MA << Rather unusually, 1215 is not among the top bunch here in Alberta. Germany seems favoured here, as 1269, though never strong, has been in and out of audio several times over the past hour. A few minutes before 0400 it was 1422 that was in quite nicely with my best TA audio of the season thus far. France was also in on 1377. Heard traces on 1125, not sure what that was. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta >> _______________________________________________ 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]
