Re: [IRCA] Polar Night

2016-01-19 Thread Aaron Kreider 

Our 50 kw stations aren't as strong as the Europeans who still have a number of 
100-500 kw stations left. We should be hearing more of them, then they hear of 
us.  Unless we have some 50 kw stations that have a greater ERP due to 
directionality?

Other possible reasons - better antennas, more DXers, more experience, higher 
latitude but lower auroral latitude (would this help?), better coastal 
locations, less problems from IBOC.

I saw the "heads up" about polar propagation and fired off a capture at 0400 
UTC.


Live DXing right ahead of that just showed rather ordinary TA DX strengths.  
What was stronger than I expected was Nigeria on 917 - actually producing some 
audio, and better than presumed Spain on 918.


I would be surprised if a 910 station from Alaska could compete with UK 909 in 
most of western Europe, though north of the Arctic Circle Scandinavian 
DXpedition sites are really their own "animal", especially during the times of 
year where the sun barely peaks over the horizon.


One reason that northern Canada and Alaska stations are reported in Europe 
without a corresponding amount of Europeans being heard in western North 
America could be that most of the big really northern European stations are 
gone.  We don't have Norway 1314, Sweden 1179, Finland 963, and several of the 
big Russians.  Those would be the easiest Euro's to shoot over the pole into 
AK, BC, AB, WA, etc.  Mostly we're left with the Brits such as 1215.  Those are 
a bit less likely to make it up to the auroral "doughnut hole" without a bounce 
in the more absorptive auroral oval.


160-meter ham observations may or may not be useful.  If there's a killer 
opening between Finland and Alberta, but Finland has no broadcast stations, the 
DXer in Alberta isn't going to have such great luck, especially if stations a 
bit farther south don't make it to the "doughnut hole" well.  Those would be 
mostly UK nowadays since there's next to nothing from Netherlands, Germany, 
Denmark, Poland, France, Switzerland, Austria, etc. - countries that each used 
to have at least one "loudenboomer".


As far as KBRW 680 ever getting here to MA, the chances are "nil to zip".  Even 
if it was a DX test with code and sweep tones or the station drifted a kHz or 
so off channel, it would have to battle through WRKO, WAPA, Colombia, Cuba, 
Venezuela, WPTF, WCBM, CFTR, Brazil, and probably some others.  Norway, 
although on the other side of the "pond", can take advantage of lengthy polar 
darkness and the "doughnut hole" as well as much greater separation from 
interferers that are breathing down our neck on this end.
