An interesting take on conditions of reception Colin.I really get the impression that your receiving set up is considerably better than mine for Asistics, as many things that you mention that seem fairly common for you are either completely missing here or quite rare. Some thoughts on

[IRCA] 1098

I noticed a comment from Glenn Hauser about 1098. Just so happens that I returned home after a baby delivery, about 12:15 AM (07:15 UTC). There was a pretty darn good carrier on 1098, in fact the strongest on the band. The Marshall Islands are in darkness, of course by then, and Japan, Korea,

Better conditions this morning with several heard with audio. 774 Japan doing very well on peaks. All Asian. Low/mid band with a het on almost every channel to 1300 kHz. But domestic slop higher today, everywhere. Some weak expanded band hets after about 1300 utc. (1611, 1638 kHz). Steve AA7U

Re: [IRCA] 1098

They seem to leave the carrier on all night Walt. I'd bet for navigation purposes. Unless they've done something drastic they ALWAYS have weak modulation so it's hard to know when they actually take audio off but it's well before 1200utc. 1098 was the first TP/DU carrier Nick found on Sunday

Re: [IRCA] September 11 2016 PART ONE (of 2 or 3) - West Coast TP's

My suspicion, Colin, is that your ground is very good in the Blenkinsop Valley. I think this is more important than your physical location compared to me or Nick. You likely have a very mineral rich earth there, which mimics being ocean-side, and hence the superb performance you are seeing.

Noise level can be important, but if it gets to the level of domestic splatter here (which is already somewhat nulled by the Flag), then there's a real problem...splatter is usually the big issue. Perhaps your Flag is oriented in such a way as to put a good null on 820, which is pretty

Re: [IRCA] 1098

OK so Marshalls is 10 kW again. Weren't they spec'd at more before? Like 20 kW? Will they be getting up to that level? Marshalls usually signs off early (for most TP/DU's) and as a result isn't running any audio when many people notice the carrier. 73 KAZ On Tue, Sep 13, 2016 at 12:31 PM, Bill
