Re: [IRCA] good TP conditions

It's also a question of the time of the day and how north the observed K-index is measured. Here Tromsö K-index described the band very well: during the day Asia was heard quite well, while at night Americas reception was almost nil: http://flux.phys.uit.no/Kindice/ 73, Mauno 23.11.2016,

Re: [IRCA] good TP conditions

This is the interesting aspect of our hobby. It doesn't always matter what the A/K indices are up to. There are other factors at play. Please explain why conditions were exceptional a couple of days ago, followed by a poor day yesterday, and then superb conditions again today. The A/K indices,

Re: [IRCA] good TP conditions

I tuned in around 1515 and was blown away at how strong the signals on my "formerly North" and now "South" flag and it was abundantly clear how much more signal I would have had if the FLAG was still active as a "Northerly..." Very impressive levels on many channels... And good to see that

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-23

It was a wacky and wild morning as Asian signals which had been in hibernation for most of the month suddenly came out in full force, starting around 1200 UTC. After having made the mistake of checking the band at that time I ended up in the cold back yard for over three hours (although it

Wow, very impressive, folks! I'm finding that my north directed antenna is the preferable antenna. Stronger than my west oriented antenna. Up and down the band! 73, Walt On Wed, Nov 23, 2016 at 2:50 PM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > Still hopping at 1445UT Gary. 657

Still hopping at 1445UT Gary. 657 competitive with 650/660; almost never heard here; 621 etc... Well, I'm recording it, but can't stop and listenMurphy moves in mysterious ways. At 14:40 23-11-16, d1028g...@comcast.net wrote: Nick, The band has been absolutely wild since about 1200

Re: [IRCA] good TP conditions

Nick, The band has been absolutely wild since about 1200 UTC (I've been DXing the whole time). Japanese fighting it out with BEL2 on 738, 1044-CRI sounding like a Japanese big gun, 657-Pyongyang sounding like Galena, etc. Of course now with some signs of daylight the signals are tapering off,

1400UT has been a dead time for TP signals the last little while, but things are hopping this morning; whether it will keep going who knowsbut things like 666 quite readable at times have been pretty unusual this year. Nothing like a couple of K=4 to get things going I guess. And of
