Re: [IRCA] AFN AM Frequencies

I can confirm that I attempted to hear AFN Korean frequencies when I was in Kyoto about 15 years ago. Despite very quiet electrical conditions, I might have just barely heard a single frequency in the middle of the night, but only tentatively. I recall being very surprised by this lack of

Re: [IRCA] AFN AM Frequencies

DX friends in Korea tell me that none of the Korean AFN stations are running a full 5 KW, (As some are listed),as they just do not have that good a signal. The towers are short and they just do not have much coverage. I tried for years to nab one, but no luck here as yet. One Dxer said some

For NL: 740 sometimes audible u/CBL here... Also CBC on 540, 640, 990 though no CBCs in many years. For NS - Barry MCLarnon's site lists five. 1140 may be your best bet (I have not aimed east in two years, LOL!). I have yet to hear 1350, 1420, 1450. Have only heard 1270 once, though it was loud

Congrats Tim! Glad to see you've hit 2000! Glad to read of your great successes using the antenna systems I suggest. I don't keep and exact count here and also don't count call changes but a several years ago and pre Perseus use an informal count had me slightly above 2000. I had the benefits of

Congratulations on the accomplishment Tim. I hit the #2000 mark last year, but it took me a lot longer. The Perseus has certainly helped me push up the total too. I hate to be negative, but I don't like your chances on AK at the moment. Even here in Alberta I have yet to hear Alaska

Re: [IRCA] AFN AM Frequencies

Paul, notice the powers listed for the 3 low power Japanese AFN transmitters on 1575. 300w, 1000w, and 1000w, which is more in line with what is listed and accepted. Remember you had posted far higher values from an "inside" tech. I suspect he was referring to ERP? Also, unfortunately, Diego

Thanks Saul, This may require me to setup a temporary BOG or loop outside aimed directly at DE to cross this state off my list since neither antenna favor this bearing at all. Rhode Island? Only one in the logbook and it's 630 WPRO. Canadian provinces still needed: all the hard ones!

1150 is indeed one good option for DE. 1410 also can get out, Tim, and you don't have CKSL London ON in the way anymore there. DE 1330 also can do well in semi-auroral cx here. Others heard are on 900, 1280, 1290, 1450, 1600. I'm about 500 miles out, so not that far. You're on the west side of MI,
