This morning (Tuesday) was awful to put it mildly. Almost no signals from even the strongest DU's and considerable noise from approaching storms to my west. 73 KAZ Barrington IL On Mon, Sep 17, 2018 at 9:09 PM, Neil Kazaross wrote: > Domestic DX was OK as well at sunrise. New is KDDD 800 TX wit

Domestic DX was OK as well at sunrise. New is KDDD 800 TX with allagnews.com ment mixed briefly with XEROK (not as strong as it used to be) and others. KFMB was also backgrounding WJR. KUBR was behind a very strong KGYN. 73 KAZ Barrington IL On Mon, Sep 17, 2018 at 6:42 PM, Tim Tromp wrote: >

Kaz, nice going! Dreadful conditions here during the last two mornings and I'm surprised you had any audio at all. Weak carriers at best here this morning (and Sunday morning). 73, -Tim On Mon, Sep 17, 2018 at 12:51 PM, Neil Kazaross wrote: > Due to some cable issues, I am rather late gettin

Due to some cable issues, I am rather late getting started chasing DU's this season. They also seemed to be better last season, but time will tell. My Rx is the Perseus SDR, and current antenna is a 120 ft DKAZ aimed due west. Sunrise today was about 1135 UTC. Sunday morning 9/16 I noted 1098 V7AB

Sunrise here was 1109 on this dry and quiet morning. Got out to the DX truck at 1057 and there was little trace of any hets but a couple minutes later 738 came up (740 Toronto quiet faded by then) nicely and just about threshhold audio level by 1104. 702 was there around 1105 as a decent carrie

With western cx being quite good last night, I left the DX truck in the field and went out to it about 15 min prior to out 1137 GMT sunrise and was not disappointed. All DU oriented as these antennas aim west and not far enough north for Japan etc. 567 had a decent carrier since I need NZ I am
