I agree with Bruce about the quality of the morning listening, especially from about 1300-1325UT. A mixture of Asia and DU, with the former dominating. I'm sure there were lots of things I missed. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

Re: [IRCA] Blowtorches of the Americas.

The station on 1300 in Troy NY once sent me a QSL boasting of its 1 billion milliwatts, or something like that, to make its 1000 watts seem especially mighty. Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY. On Wed, Sep 5, 2018, 23:25 Bruce Portzer wrote: > I once heard a station ID saying it operated "with a

Re: [IRCA] Blowtorches of the Americas.

I once heard a station ID saying it operated "with a maximum effective radiated power not exceeding 250 thousand watts".   An accurate statement if you read it carefully, but a tad misleading. Bruce On 9/5/2018 19:33, Mark Durenberger wrote: Good story but I wonder how many of those power

General notes for 1100 UTC on 26-Aug-2018: G3 geomagnetic storm in progress. Also, semi-local t-storms at the time, which pretty much killed the bottom third of the band. Local sunrise was 1104 UTC. So not only did I have auroral conditions, but also sunrise enhancement. Antenna: 140' D-Kaz
