This morning's TP-DXing session certainly sounded a lot like the Victoria clunker described by Colin and Walt Despite some decent variety in Asian signals around 1300 signals started a terminal plunge after that, with only 1566-HLAZ and the Japanese big guns on 594, 747 and 774 around at fair to good levels by 1500. Asians were far more numerous at 1300, with the second-tier TP's on 603, 657, 738 and 1134 at least in and out with audio, along with the big guns on 693, 828, 972 and 1053. Maybe it's a matter of perception-- the Victoria and Washington state DXers don't seem to consider the big gun TP's very special, whereas they seem to be far more appreciated in Arizona? In any case there are many more weird and wacky TP-DX recordings to review from the wild early Wednesday morning (11-23) session here, so nobody is complaining.
Congratulations also to Paul for receiving one of the obscure Australian stations on 1215 this morning, and thanks for posting the Yukon River DXing site video. The combination of awesome scenery and jumbled antenna cables reminds me of the Rockwork 4 ocean cliff scramble on July 10th, with three DXers deploying three different antennas and radios during disastrous weather. We salute your determination. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" loopstick C.Crane Skywave Ultralight + 15" FSL antenna _______________________________________________ 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]
