[IRCA] TP 13 Oct Victoria version

A mix again of big gun Asia and Australia, with the band above about 1200kHz almost completely dead save for a burst from 1242. Some samples recorded earlier in the morning indicated a more Asian flavor, also big guns, though Tahiti was quite strong about 0800UT. pretty darn good audio (all

Point taken. :-) Come to think of it, I did not help many little old ladies across the street when I was 13... That said, I did not drink a whole bottle of beer until I was 20 and have never smoked dope or used drugs... Which makes me the hopeless DXing square I am today! :-) On Thu, Oct 13,

Visiting Sackville, was like the Holy Grail of Shortwave. The staff was always very welcoming, and during the summers, they even hired students as tour guides. Canada once had a proud presence on SW. We even issued stamps honouring RCI, and new transmitters (in the 70s, I think). What a sad

Best signal here was rough audio from Absolute radio on 1215 -- quite a few good carriers but all getting based severely by mega splash, local noise, etc. 1089 might have had some English talk for around 15s. My N Flag also looks at my neighbours plasma TV so - there is S3 to S7 garbage across

Big guns loaded up at various times; that seemed to be where the sunrise enhancement was at this location, not in the appearance of various second tier stations.. Lots of potential in various carriers but remained potential without somebody doing some serious digging. Some Aussie signals.
