Things were not that sweet at 1500 hours - but better than nothing. I have pulled down my FLAGS for the time being until some real DX returns -
Put up a MyAntennas.com 80-10 end fed (140' long) in my backyard between 4 fly points (3 bamboo poles and 1 birch tree!) - It tunes up from 160 through 6 meters effortlessly. Nick's Fish Barrel led the way for some good audio or solid open carriers on 594, 774 and 828. Lots of carriers up and down the dial but did not spend more than 2 - 3 minutes on the radio as shower, breakfast and work called. Last night 1215 khz (assuming from the UK...) was coming through quite well on what is now a pretty omni-directional antenna. https://youtu.be/ICViiTfL-Xw You Tube Video of an 80 meter check in on BC Emergency Net last night https://youtu.be/Gaft9dwO1qc A walk about with the antenna in the back yard. Best wishes to everyone on Valentines Day! May the DX be the object of your desire and never break your heart. -- Colin Newell - Editor and creator *of *Coffeecrew.com <http://www.Coffeecrew.com> and DXer.ca <http://www.DXer.ca> - VA7WWV | Twitter @CoffeeCrew | Victoria - Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
