Re: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 21 Oct 2009
I'd been meaning to comment on Nigel's GREAT morning on Oct. 21... That was a real peak here, too... but MAN I've have rather heard Nigel's stations! Urumqi, as the capitol of Xinjiang province is a nasty industrial city from what I hear, but it is surrounded by some of the most exotic cultures imaginable, both modern and very ancient... A few others in the NW have heard Urumqi, but not me. and then there is Sri Lanka. Wow! Great going, Nigel... those would be worth celebrating on SWBC, much less MW!

Nigel, Great DX. Got Urumqi 1521 back in the 80s and had a good QSLer at CNR, then CPBS and got a QSL. Sri Lanka 1548 I got last year, but both are rare. Fantastic to get inland that far, and I keep saying that. Records have been set all season. DX that never used to be heard is being reported pretty regularly. I hope these low AK conditions stay. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ 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

I second the congratulations on Urumqi. That's a tough one to receive around here, thanks to the 1520 Oregon station. Bruce John H.
