[IRCA] Alberta TP for 3 November 2016

I'd agree with Colin that signals improved today. But, yesterday's hole was so deep that it's a long way to crawl back to audio. Just one signal made it that far today: 1116 4BC Brisbane, AUSTRALIA First noted with ads at 1320, and noted off and on until 1400. Never better than poor, b

It is too early in the day to judge, but with Ap=15, it's not looking like a rapid improvement. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM: Modified Sony ICF2010's (4) barefoot w/whip FM: Yamaha T-80 & T-85, each w/ Conrad RDS Decoder; Onkyo T-450RDS; Tecsun PL-310 ( 4); modified Sony ICF2010's

[IRCA] Victoria TP quick thoughts. was: Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-3

Yes, 738. Quite strong a number of times through the morning, French talk, various sorts of music etc. up to and including sunrise, though weaker then. 702 made a brief appearance with DU English 1421UT, presumed 2BL. 756 was also close to audio then. Although there was no sign of sunris

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-3

I did not do any first hand listening but there was at least a 10db improvement over yesterday - That is, we went from zero to around 15 perceptible hets and likely audio from half of those. Between 1415 and 1445, there were (likely) audible signals on 702 and 738 and others - all looking DU - the

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-3

It was yet another dreary day for Asian reception with only a couple of ghostly carriers showing up on 594 and 738 around 1400 UTC, after which they fizzled promptly. This solar shutdown has already continued for so long that an early start to the antenna tinkering season seems like a pretty goo

Just when I think it can only get better, the opposite happens. This morning only carriers from DU on 594, 612, 702, 729, 738, 774, 792, 891 and 1116 were noted. Richard Allen, near Perry OK, PL-380 & 8-inch FSL. Sent from my iPad -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous con
