Re: [IRCA] Qatar info
Hello Nick, Both you and Walt sure seem to be racking up the frequent flyer miles recently. Like you noticed before leaving, 1575-Farda seems to have disappeared for the season here, along with the other TA's. Unlike Walt's success in Haida Gwaii, 1170-R.Sawa has never made it through the KPUG interference to be heard here, with both stations on approximately the same loop bearing. Have fun DXing in Qatar. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) In a message dated 2/20/2010 4:18:25 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, can...@gmail.com writes: Hi, Nick!

Thanks to Steve for passing along the TA alert, as I confess to having got out of the habit of checking.. Sure enough, TA audio on 693 - UK 1089 - just traces 1134 - Croatia, solid signal 1179 - Sweden 1206 - France, bits of audio now and again 1215 - UK 1269 - Germany 1422- Germany Several other decent carriers too. In particular 639, 954, and 963 are at the almost audio level. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Steve Ratzlaff wrote: I'm getting TA LWBC the best I've had in a couple months, 0320 utc check.
