[IRCA] Weekend DXpedition to Bay House, near Reedville, VA
Spent last weekend [Oct. 12-14] at Bay House, near Reedville, VA, on the Chesapeake Bay.

Re: [IRCA] Arizona TP's for 10-19-12
Up until 1400UT, you could send in a similar report from the coast Bill. So far as I know the antennas haven't fallen down, but conditions sure have (the indices look OK though. Must be the mid-October anomaly, similar to the mid-September anomaly, I guess?). Just beginning to get traces of FF talk on 738 at 1405UT. best wishes, Nick At 13:46 19-10-12, Bill wrote: Listened from 1305-1340 UTC no audio was heard and only a very weak carrier on 774.

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/19/12
It was another disappointing morning for TP DX here. I had expected to hear a signal from Asia. Instead I only heard a trio of weak carriers from DU on 702, 738 and 891 kHz. The latter being the strongest. Receiver: a PL-380 with a Space Magnet SM-2 antenna. Good DX.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19
Hello All, As Bill, Dennis and Nick have already reported, it was not one of the season's better Asiatic DX mornings. With the exception of the persistent (and seemingly aurora-immune) 1575-VOA at a poor level there was no Asiatic audio at all this morning, and even no Asiatic carriers from anywhere except Thailand. 738-Tahiti produced the only decent audio from anywhere across the Pacific this morning, showing up with fair French OM speech around 1402. The 738 kHz French audio was in and out through most of the morning session (at a better level than yesterday), but here in this DU-dead zone there was no trace of any Australian or NZ carriers. Hopefully these dreary days are simply the mid-October anomaly (like Nick says), and not an indication that this year's modest Fall Season is already on the skids. 738 Radio Polynesie Mahina, Tahiti Fair French OM speech (apparent news) after 1400 TOH; signal in and out throughout session http://www.mediafire.com/?groti1h3ad1lnh4 1575 VOA Ban Rassom, Thailand Poor Asiatic YL speech rising above noise level occasionally around 1350 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5 MW loopstick Tecsun PL-380 + 8 Medium Wave FSL antenna ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Nice clip from Guatemala Bill! This is a country I would like to add but I would hardly count on 1570 because of CJLV. You also had great signals from Brazil.
