[IRCA] TPs heard in Calgary AB + Alaska TWB on 529 this AM
Listened this morning on the SR-II barefoot from 1330 to 1400, JOAK-594 and JOIB-747 both had good audio at times but conditions not as good as early last week. Had an interesting station on 529 when I went to check 531 - one of the transcribed weather broadcasts (TWB) from Alaska. Per the Hepburn site this could have been FDV / KBN 58 Nome or SQM / KQA 59 Level Island - I suspect the latter as it is much closer. Anyone else log those? 73, Deane McIntyre VE6BPO Calgary Alberta ___ 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

Deane, I have Level Island here every morning unless the sub-Arctic is totally wiped out. They get out well!

SQM is a pretty regular catch here on the coast, Deane. Good northerly conditions are indicated by hearing ADK on 530; you might want to check for them. I've never heard Nome on 529. best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada ___ 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

Deane, Like others SQM is a regular visitor here. I even got a QSL out of the National weather service in SE Alaska some years back. I don't know the power, but it sure gets out. 73, Patrick ___ 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

Nome is only occasionally heard (pretty rare down here, perhaps a couple times a season, but regularly heard cochannel when I'm in Massetexactly the same format, but one listens to the places that are reported on, and then there's a pause, and they start the loop over again with Sitka or Nome Transcribed weather broadcast...that's how you can be sure of the ID, other than the CW of course).Walt in Victoria. ___ 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
