Your results were much better than mine here in Richmond, B.C., Nigel (a suburb of Vancouver). Rather than risk a border crossing shutdown by attempting to import a mega-FSL antenna I brought along a 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight, but came away mostly with Vancouver splatter and mixing products. The Chinese residents of Richmond didn't seem to understand what I was trying to accomplish, and I didn't have much luck in explaining it to them, either. No wonder Vancouver doesn't have much of a DU-DXing reputation. Gary ----- Original Message -----
From: "Nigel Pimblett" <[email protected]> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 2, 2015 10:16:39 AM Subject: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 August 2015 The first interesting morning here since getting back from vacation last week. The upper band seemed favoured, with only Tahiti in audio lower down: 738 - Pop music at 1137, no doubt Tahiti. 1107 UNID - Man speaking at 1135, but too much IBOC splatter to determine language. 1386 - NEW ZEALAND, Auckland Indian music noted at 1135 tune in, so tentatively Radio Tarana. 1413 - UNID - About 30 seconds of a man talking at 1137, otherwise only a strong carrier. 1503 - NEW ZEALAND? Talk by a man in English at 1140, but too much splatter to determine much more. Very probably Radio Sport. 1592.97 - UNID - Traces of man talking at 1136. Too weak to determine language. 1701.08 - AUSTRALIA, Brisbane Radio Brisvaani with Indian vocal by a man. By far the best Aussie X-band signal today. Also strong carriers on 1026,1035,1314,1458,1476,1494,1557,1566, and lots of more modest carriers. As mentioned, most of the action was on the upper half of the band, though the carriers on 819 and 828 were close to the 'strong' category. Will be interesting to see what Nick's results were this morning. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB _______________________________________________ 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] _______________________________________________ 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]
