Like yesterday only a very weak carrier on 1566.

The year-end drought continues today, though the upper band was a bit
better. Heard traces of audio from VOA Thailand on 1575, and a decent
carrier from Korea on 1566. The low end of the dial was very poor,
with nothing near audio from the Japanese regulars. 774 was about the
only one
It was the worst morning that I can remember. No MW audio only a poor het on
738, 891, 1548. Usually there are at least weak hets on many channels. Also
normally from about 1100 kHz up the N/S wire gets the best signals, but not
today. E/W was best everywhere, indicating odd conditions going on

Interestingly, the topband list (160m amateur radio operators) has
recent reports of good long haul (including long path) DX.
Most nights there are very weak MW TA carriers here in western
Canada, which indicate low geomagnetic activity, but they never
develop. Guess our frequencies are too

Hi, Steve (and everyone at the IRCA)! My first time with email access
since the 22nd. I'm way up north at my DX cottage. I agree today fizzled
out badly. The lower half of the band was actually quite good, with the
NHK1 on 531 really coming in well, compared to usual. Above somewhere
between
Strange, Nigel. My experience was the opposite this morning, with the low
band quite good, and the high band, poor! ...Walt in Masset, BC

I listened for a while before the kids were up for Christmas breakfast and
gifts, Nick. I don't have my notes with me (in town), as I left them at
the cottage. As usual, things are usually hopping out here TP wise. I'll
have to report in later. 73,Walt

Will give the WKVQ test tonight a try at 11:00 P.M. PST. One Spanish
station from Seattle area KXPA and they are heard at times, but most of
the time the channel is vacant. With the Palstar tuner set on 1540 KFBK
1530 is S-9+60 db leaving IBOC hash on 1540. Have four outdoor antennas
to use
Dennis,
I heard the last WKVQ test here. I used the lower sideband closer to
KFBK to get rid of their IBOC hash. As I remember, the morse code came
through rather nicely.

I haven't done any serious AM DXing in quite some time, so I was trying
to become familiar with the regulars on 1540 KHz this evening. Around
7 PM Central time, I did
some listening from my car, and noticed a very loud Asian language
station. I don't recall logging this format on the frequency

I'll give it a shot too but with KXEL with 5 times the power at 1/4 the
distance only 17* apart I guess I'll find out if this loop really works.
At least I can record it if I fall asleep.
Thanks to all involved.

No sign of it here, listened the full 30 min. KXEL talk and a SS station
playing music both dominant. (SS station even played SS version of White

Not heard here in South Orange County CA.
ToH heard the XE NA from presumed XEHOS Hermosillo Sonora. They were in and
out with music and announcements. Dominant station was Los Angeles with an
English program of talk and music. Nothing else heard.
Thanks for the test.
