[IRCA] TP 26 Mar Victoria version

Well, I'll have to take Bruce's word for much of this morning. I have a local intermittent noise source that decided to un-intermit overnight, right through to 1405UT this morning. It ruins the western Flag (20 dB increase in noise level around 1100kHz is the worst, but it mostly takes out

(sorry again for delays in replying) Hi Mark, Re the different sizes of DKaz, and Kaz' comment on heights: With the 200 footer, would anything be gained from pushing the aspect ratio closer to that of the smaller DKaz? (i.e. higher supports). Not sure about the practical details of

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on March 26

It was a tale of two bands today. The low band was mediocre when the SDR recording started at 1229 and went downhill from there. The high band TPs, on the other hand, didn't show up until 1330, and rode the crest of a nice enhancement 1335-1350. The most exciting catch was on 1377, possibly

I will be building a 10-20 foot box loop in May or June and will have it mounted up on a 10 foot pole and will use it by the banks of the hopefully then thawed out Yukon River. Paul On Saturday, March 26, 2016, Patrick Martin wrote: > Paul, > > When I lived up there Koreans

Yes, Japanese as well as Koreans were all over the dial there. As far North as you are you should see plenty of TA activity in the Winter too. I got several during the day in the Winter in Seward with a portable and a longwire. Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager To: mwdx...@gmail.com;

Re: [IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on March 25

Bruce (and other TP aficionados): Have you figured out what 1584 might be? Although I haven't been very regular about having an antenna out this month, I have seen a weak carrier here on the SDR display when the usual suspects on the high end of the band are doing well. The only plausible

Re: [IRCA] AM DX from central Alaska

Thanks for the report Paul. Some of it reminds me of what I regularly heard in Seward in the 60s. I have not heard the calls KLAM mentioned anywhere in years. Back in the 60s they were a regular in Seward daily. They operated on from 7:30-9:30 AM and again 5-10 PM. I QSL'd KSDP back a few years
