[IRCA] 783 in Alberta

Was doing a last scan before calling it a night and ran across Koran recitations on 783 at 0515, which at this time can really only be Mauritania. It's been years since I've heard any evidence of audio from them. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta

Re: [IRCA] 1215 yet again

We have a lake / swamp about 1 km away - can only imagine what signals are like there. I need to remember that I have a small hill due N. Mt. Douglas - that might have something to say about TA's. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC > On Sep 23, 2016, at 9:58 PM, Walter

Re: [IRCA] 1215 yet again

Unlike last night 1215 was in audio quite a bit here tonight too, good at times.Wasn't alone as I had 12 channels in total that produced audio of varying degrees. Most were pretty feeble, but several were quite good. Vesti on 1413 was the best signal here, peaking around 0240. Lithuania

Re: [IRCA] 1215 yet again

You clearly have a great location, Colin. I could actually hear weak audio on 1215 a few km down the road, but never on a barefoot portable! 73,...Walt On Sat, Sep 24, 2016 at 4:32 AM, R. Colin Newell wrote: > Audible in my back yard with a barefoot Eton E1 -- 0430 UTC

Seeing reports of TA activity I finally thought to give it a try tonight, using my N/S and E/W longwires. Lots of MW hets though nothing close to producing audio, but LWBC doing much better. It's probably been 5 years since I moved from the Oregon site where I had longwires and had some decent

[IRCA] 1215 yet again

1215 has been making quick forays into audibility for the last hour or so, but as of about 0420UT seems to be making more of an effort at audible consistency. There are a few other carriers, but nothing like 1215 for strength so far. best wishes, Nick

By and large I agree with Chuck -- rushing does lead to inaccuracy and I am guilty of that at times. Our TA openings can be, at best, pretty sketchy so I often release info and beg for forgiveness afterward. No need for sniping at each other however - we are part of a team, a family more like -
