Re: [IRCA] 3" FSL Tecsun PL-380 TP-DX for 3-31

--- Begin Message --- Hi Gary, Do you have multiple versions/sizes of the FSLs with you in Grayland?  I've observed, through posts and a little listening, that some of the small FSLs are similar in reception quality to the big guns.  I'm wondering if the RF Zoo in Puyallup, as well as a

While I was still in Puyallup it was a great morning for the NHK big guns and 1566-HLAZ but certainly lacking the variety of Asians showing up yesterday. Except for the usual regular 603-HLSA my results were almost identical to those reported by Bruce. A very late rally by the CRI stations on

Results here were down as well this morning, with much less variety in the Asians that showed up. Chinese stations in particular dropped off, although very late in sunrise enhancement there was a ghostly appearance of CRI stations on 1044, 1206 and 1323 (maybe a watered-down version of the

Re: [IRCA] TP from Masset for 31 March and for Gabriola

Had a similar impression on Gabriola about the relative quality of DX this morning, then about an hour after sunrise, Chinese stations started to appear (and hadn't been around earlier particularly). No Anhui today, but CNR6 on 1089 had a very listenable piano concerto //6165. Because of

No DU conditions this morning unlike yesterday's great X band opening. Today was down overall. Highlight was 846 DZRV at 15:48 with good levels. UNIX on 675, not in English with laughter. Not JJ or KK as far as I could tell. Fabulous weather, too. Alaska was a pest today. Oh, I can see it well

Re: [IRCA] mystery station on 690

You and Russ may be correct, but since it is not easy to verify, I assume they are legal and that is how I log it. What else can I do? I guess I could add an asterisk to the logging a la Roger Maris. LOL 73, Stan, WA1LOU On 3/31/2016 12:47 PM, Rick Dau wrote: I echo what Russ said. WELD

Dennis, I, too, own both a Select-A-Tenna and a Grundig AN-200, and I'd say that the latter outperforms the former. My only regret is that I didn't get the AN-100 instead -- as anyone who owns the AN-200 knows, it does have a tendency to get knocked over easily. I'll probably donate the

Re: [IRCA] mystery station on 690

Thanks, Russ. The mystery station was much stronger this morning and it positively identified as WELD. A nice new catch for me - 14 watts over a 370 mile path! Stan, WA1LOU On 3/30/2016 3:44 PM, Russ Edmunds wrote: Likely you had WELD. They are heard frequently here before my local signs on.
