[IRCA] Saturday Sept 14 TP DX

Saturday morning was quite productive DX-wise. Several second tier NHK stations were in, as were several CNR1 outlets. The North Koreans on 819 and 873 managed to sneak past strong locals on 820 and 880 today. KNOM made its first appearance of the season, while its cross town rival KICY

Thanks Walt. I presume the router will use the regular walwart to power it. It is a long story on how this all came to be, but besides not having high speed, I have decided to totally drop Century Link, the phone company. It has cost me a fortune in phone bills with a business and home numbers.

Nick, 1143-Taiwan is received here occasionally, but 1143-JOBR has never been logged. In general, Dennis tends to have a lot more upper-band Japanese reception than I do, so it's not surprising. Dennis' location seems to favor second-tier Japanese stations when conditions are good, while mine
