I was dialing around the x-band yesterday around 12pm EST and noticed some stuff coming in that usually isn't there during the day. 1700 WEUP-AL was coming in well and tuning around more I noticed some other Southern stuff was skipping in as well between 1600-1700. 1600 WAOS-GA was dominating the channel with no sign of usual WAAM Ann Arbor. With just a few minutes before noon TOH I decided to make a spectrum recording with the Perseus. During recording I parked it on 1540 since I was hearing religious programming, and I was hoping for needed KTGG Spring Arbor, MI. I was surprised when the station IDed as WTBI South Carolina, completely in the clear with a decent signal, at noon! Seems I stumbled on a good opening to the South with a pipeline to NC/SC. Highlights heard here at noon include these relogs:
1170 WCXN-NC 1290 WHKY-NC 1310 WISE-NC 1350 WZGM-NC 1360 WELP-SC 1520 WDSL-NC 1550 WKBA-VA And these new logs: 880 WPIP-NC mixing with WRFD 1010 WKJW-NC 1210 WANB-PA 1400 WEOA-IN 1430 WEEF-IL under WION 1540 WTBI-SC 1600 WTZQ-NC during WAOS fade w/ no sign of usual WAAM These were all heard using the South D-KAZ. Listening again today at the same time revealed a mostly dead dial with a few things skipping in from 200-300 miles out. In other words, typical daytime skywave this time of year for me. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan Perseus SDR / Phased BOGs / N-S 117' D-KAZ _______________________________________________ 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]
