[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/13/16
<<< John told me DU reception was possible here, especially around the equinoxes. He mentioned 5AN-891 should be one of the easiest. >>> Yes, I remember a Grayland DXpedition with John Bryant back in the summer of 2009, when he received 891-5AN on a barefoot Sony SRF-T615 while standing on the ocean beach. He told me that that single long-range reception was one of the most thrilling experiences that he had ever had in decades of DXing-- to receive a DU at 8,235 miles (13,252 km) on a radio the size of a cigarette lighter. So it's no wonder that he had an attachment to that particular Australian station, even if he may have never received it himself in Oklahoma because of 890-KTLR and WLS. 73, Gary ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/13/16
Thank you Gary. John told me DU reception was possible here, especially around the equinoxes. He mentioned 5AN-891 should be one of the easiest. But that's difficult due to nearby KTLR-890, (1 kW) Oklahoma City, as well as 50 kW powerhouse 50 kW WLS is often heard after sunrise here. It does kick up one hell of a heterodyne many mornings. John and Kirk Allen were avid Indonesia tropical band DXers. I doubt DU reception would be possible on a barefoot ULR. It needs a good antenna such as a FSL. Yesterday I heard JOUB on the same SRF-T615 used to hear it the first time in 2008. The signal was better than then. The best of DX to you. Richard.

<<< Hearing a Sydney on an ULR at 13927 km/8654 miles made the morning worthwhile. Now it's time for a good cup of coffee! Good DX everyone. >>> Congratulations again, Richard. You have already heard more Australian DX on an Ultralight radio than anyone who wasn't right next to the salt water.
