I hope that you can receive some Asians soon, Nigel (as you usually do). By contrast, the total lack of DU propagation here has continued for 8 years. My own personal solution is to schedule a couple of all-out DXpeditions to wild ocean cliff sites each summer, during which multiple exotic DU's (including a few which don't seem to show up anywhere else) can be received. This fanatical behavior has even attracted noted Perseus-SDR DXers. 73, Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nigel Pimblett" <nige2...@telus.net> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <irca@hard-core-dx.com> Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2015 5:15:51 PM Subject: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 20 September 2015 Since southern Alberta didn't experience the Asian high yesterday, I didn't experience the drop either. Today here was slightly better than yesterday. More audio for sure, but most of it was of the 'just there' variety, other than Tahiti, which was rivalling the domestics on 740 at times. 675 UNID Heard few words by a man just after 1300. 738 FRENCH POLYNESIA, Papeete Nice clear signal at 1240 with French language vocal by a woman 819 UNID Bits of audio at 1251, but 820 splash seemed particularly strong today. 882 UNID Traces of music at 1254, and back at 1306 with more music. Star from Auckland seems likely. 963 UNID Faint traces of music at 1246 1017 Strong carrier, but no audio. Presumably Tonga leaving their carrier on after s/off. Speaking of which, years ago I logged them on late during a Rugby World Cup (rugby being a religion down there), and that event is on again, so it might be worth checking on the days when Tonga is playing. I did hear a few words from a woman talking at 1303, but I think that was another station under the big carrier. 1035 NEW ZEALAND, Auckland Newstalk ZB Presumed with talk by two man at 1243 1044 UNID Traces of audio at 1243 1386 UNID Faint traces of music at 1356 1503 UNID Traces of talk by a man at 1248 Most years, by mid September, the Asians are beginning to predominate, and I'm sure that one of these days the Asians wil show up here, but so far this season I've had the opposite experience of Gary, will plenty of DU, but no Asia. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB Perseus SDR & Wellbrook Phased Array _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
