[IRCA] the struggles of HLAZ to be heard
A sound only a DXer could love, but HLAZ is still attempting to be heard here at 1744UT. It''s at the mumble level and a touch of preamplification helps, but still... Must be booming in at the Moman estate near Edmonton? Or at Winter Harbour? Or Seaside, OR? 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
Re: [IRCA] the struggles of HLAZ to be heard
The station here is involved heavily in the CQWW CW contest this weekend so have not been paying attention to that part of the spectrum, so can't comment. (there on no hets on 1566 or 1575 in either path now at 1951ut) I'm still in shock that I actually heard something so well here that isn't heard even better out there It's that highly conductive Prairie stubble... who needs a salt water path..

I worked four Japanese stations, JH1OGC, JA5FDJ, JA2FJP yesterday and JA1VND this morning, all in the 1150z - 1230Z range, all on 80 meters (3510 to 3515 kc range) running a TS-430S barefoot (100 w output) to an end fed random wire about 80 ft long, 45 foot high with MFJ 989C tuner. Location is near Lakeland, central Florida. Local sunrise about 1215Z nowadays. JA5FDJ was peaking at 589 here and apparently has some spectacular antenna to be heard so well. I am just cherrypicking in the contest, about 70 QSO's but got HC8N on 160 and 3X5A on 3 bands. Everything with 100 watts. 73 Bob ___ 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] the struggles of HLAZ to be heard
We, Don, there's no salt water path to HLAZ from here for a couple of hundred kilometers at least, but even so, your path hardly involves water at all. But then, might there have been a Beverage involved in your reception? Thanks to your recording, I knew what to look for... it just wasn't nearly as loud. Hope the contest went well.
