Good info so far Bill.
Here are two things you may want to dig for right away:
(1) South Africa 828
(2) Off-channel Guyana which has been recently noted on 559.924 by Jim Renfrew
in NL (see below) and (as carrier in WGAN slop) by me here at South Yarmouth in
OCT on approximately 559.93. I need to take a better shot at this one, maybe
breaking out a phaser to "stick it" to WGAN better than what the SuperLoop
alone can do. That will still leave WFIL, Rebelde, WQAM, and WHYN more or less
in that order on 560. Right after sunset would likely be the best time.
You and Jim might want to compare DXpedition notes; I'm copying him on this
message.

Subject: [IRCA] Guyana 560 off channel
To: DXers
From: Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY
I'm reviewing recordings from our first day in Newfoundland, November 7th.
There's a ton of stuff to report on, but one item in particular may be most
immediately useful. At 2228z on November 7 I have the Voice of Guyana in
English operating on or around 559.924. I don't know if this carries
through the whole week we were there (NOV 7-16), but in case it does I want
you to know about it! It may be just off enough to heard over a distance.
Go get'em!

Subject: [CapeDX] Quoddy House 6 DXpedition - Nov. 15-21, 2015
I love reading others' DXpedition reports & loggings. In that same spirit I
offer the following.
>From Nov. 15-21 I was at Quoddy House to try my luck at east-coast-style
>trans-oceanic DX.
While there's still LOTS of wav files to go through, enough is available to get
a 'glimpse' of things.
Highlights so far include Ethiopia on 918 and 1359 kHz and Eritrea on 945 kHz.
Thanks to the great folks on the RealDX mail list for ID help!
Quoddy House [QH] is near Lubec, Maine:
<https://maps.google.com/maps?q=44.818103,-66.962673&t=h&z=18>;
As much as a DX opportunity, a visit to QH is an opportunity to try out new
antennas and new configurations of trusted antennas. Over the past few visits
I've gotten an idea of where it's possible and useful to put up antennas. This
year I stuck with what I’ve come to consider my ‘stock’ weapon - a 160’ DKAZ —
one at 55 degrees for TAs and one at 155 degrees for LatAm. I used a Vactrol
termination resistance to vary Rt from the shack and then replaced it with a
fixed resistor when I had determined the best value.
Here's a chronology of when each antenna was up and in what configuration it
was in on which day: <http://realmonitor.com/qh6/antenna_cron.html>;
Instead of a 'traditional' log I put up sound samples of what I heard on a
website. The website for QH6 is here:
<http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_QH6.php>;
Besides the sounds [accessed by clicking the ‘play’ symbol in the
antenna/time/date vs. frequency matrix], other links of interest include:
- stats for what was heard: <http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_stats_qh6.php>;
- AzGraph for each antenna to illustrate how it worked:
<http://realmonitor.com/phpmygraph_qh6_combo.html>;
- a Google Map of what was heard: <http://realmonitor.com/latlon_qh6/>;
Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy putting it together. Stay tuned
for more entries to be added over the next few weeks.
