Re: [IRCA] 1340 new log

Colin, I’m ashamed to admit it—but after briefly installing the VACTROLS, I took down the flag antenna—and planned to put up a new and improved version with CAT 5 burial cable for control. That was months ago—and I’ve had no break in my hectic work and travel schedule to do any hobby projects.

[IRCA] TP 12 April Victoria version

Mostly the big guns this morning, but there was a nice little lift just after 1300UT that made things a bit more interesting. There were lots of carriers, a number with audio traces, plus some second tier audios and 1548 made a brief showing again to hold up the DU side. pretty darn good

Re: [IRCA] Big Island DXing

Or at Poipu on Kauai. I have some logs somewhere for early evening DXing. Poipu would be great for the DU to Deep South America DX for it serves as a buffer zone to block the US. I do recall hearing many SS stations. Todd Skaine On Wed, Apr 12, 2017 at 1:19 PM Bob Coomler via IRCA

--- Begin Message --- No question at all that Hawaii is a great spot ... for DXing too.  :-)   My thoughts were more based on specific locations given that most of the islands have significant signal blocking volcanic ridges.  When I was last on the Big Island (near Honoka'a, NE side), I

Re: [IRCA] Big Island DXing

Colin: All six continents have been heard on MW from Hawaii. In fact, Richard Wood heard bunches of European and Middle East stations (along with lots of NA, SA, Australia and Asia) from Hawaii. Much more is possible than just the Pacific - Australian - Far East stuff. Chuck

I have made 12 "pilgrimages" to Kona in the past 20 years and that would be the dream location -- Much like Easter Island - the location totally puts you in the drivers seat for some of the World's best DX - Because you can chase Austral-Asia and the Americas. Having heard Alaska crystal clear

It's the last night for us in Kona, and I was attempting to record a sign off routine for 540-2AP-- a 5 kW station in Apia, Samoa. The station seemed to cooperate nicely by pounding in at an S9+ level around 0956, but it simply kept going strong after 1000, refusing to sign off. Anyway. here is
