Conditions were back to normal or at least only
VERY sligthly auroral (probably just auroral enough to allow Cuba to sneak
through way under an almost impossible to null WHAM). WLIB was excellent on 1190
playing soca music, but some very slightly AURORAL conditions were suggested by
some very selective fadings on short-skip signals such as Radio Disney 1460 in
Albany (I don't know the call-letters for this one)/ But, I'm surprised on
getting two foreign DX signals for that late in the DX season. I wonder though
if I'm gonna get any deep-South American stuff this summer. Of course this
Thursday evening when CBA was auroraed out, the channel had NOTHING, so I
couldn't hear LR1 Radio El Mundo like I wanted to.
If I'm not going to hear deep-South American DX
this summer wich is still very probable, because it is very rare for inland
DX'ers to get this DX, I'd like to hear at least 1 Venezuelan. I haven't heard
YV DX since the end of March and I really miss them. This last season, RCR-750
wasn't the most commun YV here, but Union Radio-640 wich was often almost
local-like. Well, I'd like to hear from Union Radio-640 this summer, at least
once. The past night, I could only hear growls on 640 along with some
sub-audible heterodynes (they were two), but the signals were too weak for audio
detection. On 750 I could get nothing at all, aside for some slight CKAC-730
het. I could not even get WSB !
Well, the next season I'm going to try to hear two
new exotic stations on 750, HJDK Caracol in Medellin wich I tentatively received
before and KFQD in Anchorage, AK. While the first one may be "relatively" easy,
KFQD would be a very tough catche and I may be hunting them for
years.
That's it for now,
73 and good DX,
