Gary and Bruce sure proved today that you can hear the deeper East Asians better down Puget Sound way. Today was brief blips of mostly rather faint Asian signals.Mind you there was also a touch of post sunrise DX, mostly HLAZ, which wouldn't quit properly. Still had recognizable music on

Why, after almost 40+ years of posting to paper and email lists, do I not even warrant an email reply? 60kb is good. 90 or 100 is better. That sort of brings us into the 21st century... I’ll remind our readers that there is now a MW DXer list on the internet dedicated to long winded

A 'stellar DU morning' it was not, but even a fair one is a marked improvement on yesterday. Considerably more decent carriers than yesterday too, so will hope the upward trend continues tomorrow. 594 3WV Horsham, AUSTRALIA Man interviewing woman about a book at 1310. 612

Nick I noticed the same thing but kept forgetting to mention it.  KRKO dropped IBOC some time before March 20, judging from my oldest available SDR file.  KKXA apparently dropped IBOC beginning March 30, based on more recent files. A refreshing change to be sure. Bruce On 4/2/2018 12:06,

I'm somewhat in agreement with everyone else.  The bottom half of the band was downright miserable today, but the upper half was a bit better (let's call it somewhat below average). What I assume was Taiwan made another surprise cameo appearance at the end of the session.  I also had brief

[IRCA] not IBOC

2018-04-02 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
This morning I realized that KRKO-1380 and KKXA-1520 were no longer using IBOC. Those were the strongest contenders here for generating interference. Hope it stays that way. This may have started April 1st, as files from yesterday also show the IBOC is missing. Normally I've noticed it
