[IRCA] WC TA

2016-09-17 Thread transistor
 About 6 or 7 years ago Steve Ratzlaff and I connected via email and started a 
coordinated listening effort for long-wave broadcasters from Europe and Africa. 

On evenings when I could hear them in Michigan I would email Steve and in spite 
of being on the West Coast, he could often capture them also. We were pretty 
amazed.  Steve was running some incredibly long wires at the time and I think 
it goes without saying is a pretty savvy radio DX'er.  

We referred to them as TA's until I examined the path one day and came to the 
conclusion that Steve was actually listening over nearly a trans-polar route.
Which made it all the more impressive.

I don't know how you West Coast guys do it!

Only a very faint trace of 1215 here, but have had a respectable carrier 
at times this evening on 1566.

My apologies ScottI used to have a signature 
on my e-mails identifying my location, but it's 
not there anymore.   I'll pop it back in if I can.


At any rate, as Neil said, Victoria, BC.   West 
coast TAs have been a rarity in recent years, so 
I tend to hop up and down a bit even about 
carriers.   Apparently I was late to the game 
this time, as Colin Newell (also Victoria) heard 
a bit of audio on 1215 a short while earlier.


best wishes,

Nick

Welcome back, Nick, and glad to see you back at the dials.  I'll have to have a

Sorry Nick, conditions here were certainly not like that. All I had was 4 LW 
TA's, all with audio.Last Friday evening was way better with carriers from 
531 up to 1575, though only 1053 and 1215 produced audio. LW's were better 
that evening too.

I'd agree with Mike... Altho I may have checked at a lull in the

Would have thought it was humming up there, Mike.   Best TA action 
here since last fall maybe. LW was limited to weak carriers.  The 
northerly Flag was very quiet on LW tonight, but it's also pretty 
insensitive there, so not much coming through.
