[IRCA] Not TP 8 Mar Victoria version

2016-03-08 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Today was my day to foul up things. No recordings, long story. I did have a rough signal strength recorder going with the DX Fishbarrel, and it looks as if 1566 may have peaked into weak audio a couple of times during the Japanese broadcast, and then again around 1400UT. 1575 may have stuck

No report yesterday - I accidentally made my recording with the MW filter turned on, resulting in as much as 50db attenuation at the low end of the band. Judging from Nick's report, I didn't miss much. Today's DX, even with no attenuation, wasn't much better. There were a few weak high band

Les,   Thank you very much for your generous comments about Satoshi's reception of 630-4QN in Japan, and also about the FSL-enhanced PL-380 model. The Japanese do have somewhat of an advantage in transoceanic DXing because almost all of them live within an hour's train ride of an ocean beach.

Ken, Yes, I have been DXing nearly 54 years. I started in Seward AK in 1962. Then I got into QSLing in 1965. I have came down from AK in 1967 (18) and continued here. I moved to the Portland area for a few years (76-79), then moved back and continued here. I just turned 67 a few days back. Pat

KAZ, I just came from looking and yes I have the room for a Super KAZ, but the Eastern leg of the Super KAZ will come down right next to the Eastern Beverage at an angle. What to do about it? The Eastern Bev probably has electrically connected with the SW EWE which runs 20 feet from the Bev.

Welcome Ken. AZ has been getting more and more DXers through the years. I live in Oregon and except for myself, there are none than are active on MW any longer. WA has a lot, especially in the Puget Sound. I live North of Seaside on the coast where I have logged many TPs and DUs through the year
