Tell me about it. Five years ago, an auroral event like this one was a happy hunting ground for new catches. This time around, all I had was noise while others scooped up the good stuff. My noise floor has risen that much in the last few years, and, for the most part, it's probably not due to my own household devices. I have no less than six houses within 50 feet or so of my antennas, so there is no hope of finding all the offending devices and silencing them. So long, weak signal AM DXing, it was fun while it lasted... :-( Barry -- Barry McLarnon VE3JF Ottawa, ON _______________________________________________ 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
