I use Guy’s eBay gray plastic boxes for the indoor portion of the Vactrol and some black RadioShack mini-boxes for outside — WITH bleed holes. I can attest to the fact that condensation DOES happen — whether at Grayland or Lubec or Fleeton, VA on the Chesapeake Bay. Fortunately, inside the

Re: [IRCA] Some TAs in the Mid-Atlantic

Oh yea, this was all between 2330-0100utc and there was a YUGE signal on 783 with audio - usually I get a nice carrier with little or no audio. Arabic and lots of mentions of Iraq and Syria so I'm betting Syria vs. Mauritania. --- On Oct 25, 2016, at 9:26 AM, Bill Whitacre wrote: > B

I have only heard AUS on 720 - and then only ONCE and only at Sans Souci, on the Oregon coast between Florence and Yachats, OR. Chuck did ‘glean’ many of my Grayland logs for a re-issued ‘master log.’ I’ll let him address where that might be. My own master log from Grayland & Sans Souci,

Thanks for putting this up Colin. Unfortunately, Youtube just spins and spins when I try to open it. Must be a LOT of folks trying to hear what they missed. It’s not easy being a ‘frequent Grayland visitor’ living on the east coast. I would suspect that ‘opening’ allowed some carriers, at

Re: [IRCA] 1098

They seem to leave the carrier on all night Walt. I'd bet for navigation purposes. Unless they've done something drastic they ALWAYS have weak modulation so it's hard to know when they actually take audio off but it's well before 1200utc. 1098 was the first TP/DU carrier Nick found on Sunday
