I found out this morning that I don't have to go to the beach for TP DX, although it may be better there. There's a small grassy area on the apartment complex property that I go to for any serious listening due to manmade noise indoors. It was good enough to log a couple of TP's this morning. I just tried the ten frequencies listed in Gary DeBock's "Receiving Your First Thrilling TP on a Stock Ultralight Radio".
774 JOUB 1307 good to very good with JJ man and woman doing a learning to speak English program. 972 HLCA? 1316 fair with man speaking what sounded like KK. I also had some other carriers with no audio; the best were 828, 1566, and 1575. JOUB was on the ICF-2010 barefoot. I needed the Select-a-Tenna for HLCA. The synchronous detection sure helps but JOUB was strong enough that I didn't absolutely need it. I'm going to do this with the ICF-2010 for awhile then give it a try with ultralights. 73, Dennis Santa Barbara, CA _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
