You northerners are grabbing all the DX hi.


Nick, you sure you're not getting me mixed up with Walt? His receptions are 
way above mine. Tho conditions up here can be very good, the past few 
winters have been nothing like they were 5 or 6 years ago. Still, better 
than nothing, and so far this winter, better than the past 2 have been.

Another evening of TA evidence in western Canada.  Some audio on 
Farda-1575, though not very good level.  Occasional weak talk on 1539, and 
a fair carrier on 1503 are rounding things out at the moment.  Not much 
yet in the lower band.


Perhaps you should have checked earlier Nick. Up here there were many TAs in 
as early as 13:30MST. Some with pretty fair signals. 1053  1215-UK were 
both very good, as were 1134-Croatia and 855-Spain. Unusually 1575-Farda was 
very poor, tho audible. Unfortunately the whole band was very noisy, 
probably because of the very thick hoar frost which currently covers 
everything including all my antennas and the trees they are attached to. Of 
course all the BOGs are buried under the snow. Many other TAs had audio, tho 
too poor to ID. The waterfall on the Perseus showed even more weak signals 
without audio. As local sunset approached they all faded under the signals 
from down south, tho the carriers still show on the Perseus.

I think you're right about those northerners Nick!Ho-hum pretty well 
summed up the TA action (or maybe inaction) here today (and this 
mornings TPs were even worse, virtually non-existant).  Had Croatia in 
fairly early today, and a few others with feeble audio, but nothing 
really developed.
