Following Tim Tromp’s loggings from western Michigan I’ve been watching for DU carriers here in Alexandria, VA in the off-chance that something might show up.
To date this season not much more than imaginary whisps of waterfall traces have. But today, Sept. 1, when locals back off on their early s/on times I got a nice carrier on 774 and some weak audio - the kind of audio where I can tell you that there was either a male or female announcer but not the language and when there was music but not the title or even the genre. Still it’s a start. The kind of thing that keeps you coming back to the dials each morning with some hope! All this happened around sunrise - 1030utc [6:30am EDT] - in an extended widow of opportunity with local WAVA-780 signing on later than they were in August. By 1040utc or so it was all gone. Oddly there were NO other carriers visible and I suspect the sun burping had something to do with this.
