And the best that can be managed on the west coast is a weak carrier on 1215 at 0425UT. Not that unusual this month. But, extremely unusual in practically any other month preceding, since the last solar minimum, so perhaps things are looking up. best wishes, Nick At 02:01 2018-02-26, Ri

Propagation is not quite as good tonight as the past few. However, 252 Algeria is being heard with poor strength at 0555. Also, there is a barely audible trace of 198 BBC. No other TA signals observed. Richard Allen, near Perry OK USA, R75 & ALA1530LNP. Sent from my iPad

Thanks for the update Richard. In Victoria, the best we've managed by 0420UT is carriers on 855 and 1215, with SAHs, so a pair of carriers on each. Possibly that will be the peak strength; we'll have to see. best wishes, Nick At 02:20 2018-02-14, Richard N. Allen wrote: 1215 Absolute Rad

1215 had burbles of audio as well along with smashing hets from 531, possibly 2 carriers there, 909, 999 and 1089. I was able to get a lock on 882 but just too much 880 to hear any audio. The other interesting frequency that Nick and Nigel have been focused on is 1575. I did hear 2 carriers there b
