--- Begin Message --- Great logs and certainly a wider variety of TA's than what I'm getting. I did just go downstairs to check 1530 VOA Sao Tome 10 p.m. EST / 0300 UTC sign-on and sure enough Yankee Doodle was mixing with WCKY. Other than that, typical UK and Spain stations were good but

[IRCA] Alberta TA carriers

Several TA carriers around this evening: 1584, 1575, 1574.96, 1503, 1413, 1386 None are threatening audio, but it's the nearest in quite some time. No doubt the coming CME will silence them by tomorrow night. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB Perseus SDR with Wellbrook Phased Array

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 7 November 2016

Very unusually, my results today closely paralleled Gary's. Some Asian signals at the top end of the band, and a dearth of even decent carriers on the lower half. For Gary that was a step down, but here it was a step up, as yesterday was a shutout as far as DU/TP signals went. 1503

Re: [IRCA] First report from Murray Harbour, PEI

Hi Walt Yes, you are correct. I should have checked a more official source than this. http://radiomap.eu/uk/play/bbc_merseyside I wouldn't expect BBC Radio Cumbria to make any references to Liverpool in normal programming. I checked today at 0900 and I heard BBC Radio Newcastle - it's

Re: [IRCA] First report from Murray Harbour, PEI

Walter BBC Radio Merseyside should be on your 1458 list. I was away from home yesterday so I don't know what conditions were like, but today was the first day this season that I've heard North America at 0900 utc. Paul Troon, Scotland On 07/11/2016 13:33, Walter Salmaniw wrote: UNITED

Outstanding logs, Walt! Was the Eritrea 845 khz log perhaps a typo for 945 kHz? -- 73, Brandon Jordan, KM4PBQ Fayette County, TN EM55gc http://www.swldx.us WinRadio G33DDC G313-e | RFSpace SDR-IQ NetSDR | Elad FDM-S2 | Icom IC-7200 Array Solutions SAL-30 Shared Apex Loop Clifton Labs Z1501F

--- Begin Message --- Excellent report Walter. Bruce Conti has a DXpedition website up: http://www.bamlog.com/2016pedx.htm Interesting to see 845 (rather than 846) Eritrea. 1566 Benin has always been a tough pull here with 1560 NY and 1570 QC making a rather huge slop sandwich most nights.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-7

Asian propagation was limited to the high band here this morning, taking a step backward even from yesterday's lackluster results. 1566-HLAZ managed far audio in and out from 1350-1410, while 1593 had a moderate carrier which came close to audio at times. 1575 had a ghostly carrier around the

1566 HLAZ good again (weak/medium) at 1341 utc gradually fading away by 1405 utc. 774 Japan very poor at 1345 utc. But lots of weak hets over whole band 1354 utc. Steve AA7U near Sahuarita, AZ R75; 140' west DKAZ + FLG-100 preamp ___ IRCA mailing

Re: [IRCA] First report from Murray Harbour, PEI

Good point, Nigel. I had forgotten about them. Are they parallel to the LW transmitters? Barcelona would be a major impediment to hearing them. Just checking a wav file from 01:00, and it's a mish mash of several stations, with Spain dominating. Checked a few recordings from 01:00 to our

Re: [IRCA] First report from Murray Harbour, PEI

Thanks for the interesting report Walt, and am glad to see that conditions seem to be on the upswing just in time for your trip. Have you heard any sign of the new Iceland station on 666? I believe it's only 1 kw. I had good reception earlier this year, but then I was in Reykjavik at the

A good start to our DXpedition to this farmhouse in south-eastern PEI. Joined by well-known DXers Bruce Conti, Neil Wolfish, Brent Taylor, and Nick Hall-Patch, I felt like a newbie with such a profusion of TA and African targets. The star antenna, IMHO, is the DKAZ erected by Nick aimed 60

DX-wise it was a rather disappointing morning here. Very little was heard other than hets on 702, 738 and 891, as well as a trace of a signal (no audio) on 1566 after 1300 (LSR) until 1315. Good DX. Richard Allen, near Perry OK, Skywave with 8-inch FSL. Sent from my iPad -- This message has
