Hi Nick,
Thanks for your TP report from Gabriola Island. And I'm not surprised that the
Kiwi signals are not showing up for you-- they seem to have found the perfect
home here, with no reason to proceed farther north.
<<< Are you hearing any Asians when you first set up Gary? And did you
have time to check above 1600kHz? >>>
Well, until Monday of this week no Asian had ever shown up at the "Kiwi Cliff"
during three consecutive summer DXpeditions, but strangely, 594-JOAK managed to
sneak in a signal briefly around 1210 before quickly being evicted by 594-NZ
Rhema. No other Asian has managed a trace this week.
For some unknown reason, though, TP signals above 1600 kHz don't seem to show
up here. Chuck mentioned to me how those signals seem to be easily heard at
Grayland and other places, but don't seem to propagate here. I myself have
never heard an X-band Asian during five Rockwork 4 DXpeditions, although I was
able to receive a presumed 1701-Voice of Charity (English) during a July 2012
DXpedition to Cape Perpetua, 95 miles south of here.
73, Gary

Subject: [IRCA] TP for 18 July, Gabriola Island
No Zedders on Gabriola Island again today. Although there's about 6
km of water path along that direction, there is a further 90 km chunk
of Vancouver Island before the Pacific Ocean, and that seems to be
killing any hope of NZ reception there.
Asians were weaker today, again from 1130-1200UT mostly, though HLAZ
faded up briefly again with the pattern change at 1230UT. Otherwise
only weak audio from 1287 and 1503, with NHK pips at 1200UT from the latter..
Interestingly, there was a little Aussie action after 1200UT, but
only above 1600kHz, with 1611, 1629 and 1701 delivering weak audio
and off channel hums.
Are you hearing any Asians when you first set up Gary? And did you
have time to check above 1600kHz?
best wishes,
Nick
