If you slept in, you missed nothing. At 1323, there were a few carriers, no audio... Hit snooze button. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Dennis' Asian results were quite a bit more favorable than the anemic group that showed up here this morning, with clunker conditions prevailing for a second straight day. At peak sunrise enhancement around 1405 there was poor to fair audio from 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB and 738-Tahiti, with the rest

There are two factors at work here: a.) Walter is in Masset so naturally all conditions will take a dive. b.) I have been setting up a new flag and enhancing the height of my existing antennas... hence conditions take a dive. This comes under the influence of Murphy's all encompassing umbrella!

If you remove the Termination end of the VACTROL from its COAXIAL power feed it will not read anything - It only delivers the selected resistance when the unit is on. When it is OFF, the resistance is infinite. On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 1:05 PM, Walter Salmaniw wrote: > In

In Masset conditions were interesting. Asians were subdued but the Hawaiians made up for it. My DKAZ was the star performer aimed SW but aimed NW. The vactrol was supposedly at 900 ohms but when removed wasn't registering anything. Time to troubleshoot. No wonder it worked so well. Highlights
