The airport-friendly "Frequent Flyer" FSL antennas kept their perfect TSA screening record today as the recently-tweaked 5" bar model deployed from Sea Tac airport for a 5 day Hawaii trip. After all the exceptional DX received over the past week at home with the same antenna, though, maybe

I agree with Nick. This is Tokyo. Here's a link to one of my recordings of what 1134's KBS ID should sound like, same as any other KBS station with a different slogan (at home, 21 miles from the tower, where you can hear Tokyo trying to smother it at night, and a clear groundwave clip during

Hello everyone, We had another great morning for Trans-Pacific DX here in the Midwest. i started listening around 1120 UTC, and found strong signals from Japan on 774, 693, 666, and 747. 828 out of Osaka might have been the loudest of all, but I couldn't separate them from WCCO in Minneapolis. I

Out in Victoria, BC, I agree with you on your "not as good" evaluation, Richard. However, I did join the happy throng of CNR11 listeners at 1435-8UT, with a man singing a capella, chanting really, and //6010 which was very difficult to hear indeed. Do you see any signs of a signal on that

In response to Tim and Bruce, with some extra information: 1206 was my old local and is a pretty potent, wide, and loud signal. I have no TOH IDs in my recordings of the frequency, and I think the reason is, as you said, that there just is nothing special there to hear, and when there is, it
