nt as before I went to bed before 0800, I found KYUK 640 dominating the frequency. We might be getting into the Winter DX period as it is nearly the 1st of November. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-d

John, My old days of staying up AN might work now better. hi. I rarely DX at 1100-1200 these days, but I did notice at 0800 JOAK was there, KYUK-640. So DXing AN might be the ticket, as around LSR sure is nothing much. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager

Walt & Bill, Even though I did not get up until late this morning, I still found JOHR 1287 coming in as late at 1615 UTC. At 0800 there were quite a few JJ's in, JOQK-531, JOCR-558, and even 918 was showing up weakly. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Receptio

Bill, Hank Wilkinson and DXers put up longwire antennas on a lot in metro Philly in the 20s/30s and heard 100 watt Australians on MW. The dial was a lot quietier in those days without noise, so low power TPs/DUs were fairly easy to log on the East Coast years ago. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin
