The geomagnetic burp did its work, and only a few of the big guns staggered through. Interestingly, 1566 and to a lesser degree, 972 were showing carriers well after 1700UT this morning. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not today

I started seeing 846 from Christmas Island at 03:00ish today, and the audio is fair to good at 03:38 as I type this. I enjoy watching this station fade in most nights! 73, Walt S. Victoria, BC ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Make sure you get out and EAT occasionally -- Try HUGGOS at Happy Hour and try to the Mai Tai with the house made Orgeat syrup -- ask... they will know what you are talking about. On our first night there we ALWAYS go to the Royal Kona for Mai Tai's and BUCKETS of Shrimp! Cannot wait! On Sun,

Thanks Walt and Nick, 846-Christmas Island is by far the strongest DU here in Kona, but it seems to have a serious issue with the transmitter cutting out intermittently. It did this about 3 times last night. I recall that Bryan Clark of NZ also mentioned that the signal was gone on one of the

Which makes me wonder if Kirimati-846 is snagging their master signal off the internet somewhere somehow? Presumably a lot cheaper than any dedicated line. Paul W..do you have any inside information? best wishes, Nick At 20:53 2017-12-17, Volodya S wrote: Interesting about the

Interesting about the 19 sec delay, as the delay is maybe 1 second only between the on-line relay and 846 itself! 73, Walt Salmaniw, Victoria. On Sun, Dec 17, 2017 at 10:29 AM, Gary DeBock wrote: > The 5 inch (127mm) Frequent Flyer FSL started tracking down the DU's

The 5 inch (127mm) Frequent Flyer FSL started tracking down the DU's right away here in Kona this evening, but T-storm activity made reception of the weaker DU's a little dicey. I was able to confirm a 19-second time delay between the programming on 846-Kiribati (Christmas Island) and
