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

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.

2018-02-13 Thread Nick Hall-Patch

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.

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 but just not enough oomph to hear a jammer.  These were
noted with my newly modified 2010 just received yesterday in which i still
have to try out the other 2010 that got modified. This is for tomorrow.
Earlier on the way home from work on the car radio notable hets that were

Nothing here on 1215.  Had indications of a signal on 855 (RNE?) during the 
evening.  Only 171, 198 and 252 were heard however.

Never had much luck hearing 1215 in recent years, only a few words once on a 
barefoot SRF-T615.  In the 70 & 80's, when on 1214 it was regularly heard, 
sometime with QRM from Tirana.  That was before the KGYN-1210 menace.  
Domestically the airwaves were much less cluttered then.
