Re: [IRCA] Cape Lookout DXpedition Loggings - Nov. 7th

Nice loggings, Guy. There's hope for the rest of us. Sorry that I seemed to absorb all of JOIG; believe me it wasn't very strong here. It's interesting that I was able to hear a couple of DUs, but apparently nothing heard there on the coast? best wishes, Nick At 06:16 2018-11-08, Guy

[IRCA] Cape Lookout DXpedition Loggings - Nov. 7th

Below are the catches I was able to pull from my files today. After the bare scraps of TPs on Monday and Tuesday, November 7th seemed like drinking from a fire hose. I tried to locate JOIG on 648 which Nick mentioned, but never found anything more than whispers on that frequency.

For those in North America who have wondered about the reason for the powerful Chinese stations on 783 and 909 kHz, as Chris Kadlec has mentioned, they are used for propaganda broadcasts to Taiwan. These mega-stations were both blasting into Poipu, Hawaii with their usual S9+ signals this

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 7 November 2018

Definitely no goldmine out on the prairie. Still no sign of any Asians, with just a few DUs coming in. I noted 612, 774, 792, 828, 891, 1026, 1116, and 1548 with audio around 1400 this morning. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB ___ IRCA mailing

I agree that it was a better morning than the last two have been, Guy, but that wasn't a high benchmark. But, for the most part, it wasn't really hopping here, I'm afraid, at least during my live listening 1430-1510UT. I did log JOIG-648, noted for the first time here only a month ago, so

Agree, Bill. A very nice problem to have. We haven't had the greatest conditions on the east coast. Nothing overnight here, as far as I know. This morning, the weather was perfect, so 4 of us went for a long walk along the beach, then bushwacked our way home, but as this place is surrounded by

I hope other DXers in the Northwest, from the Victoria crew southwards, found last night to be a fascinating time at the dials. At my temporary Cape Lookout post in Oregon, I noticed a few Japanese stations in audio more than an hour and a half before Japan sunrise. With 4.5 terabytes of hard
