Re: [IRCA] Newfoundland Ultralight Radio Trans-Atlantics @ Domestics Report Mar 31
I'd read in Radio World magazine about Jil FM. I didn't realize it was also going to be operating on AM! It's aimed at younger people. I'm looking forward to hearing this sometime! 549 really gets out (as does 531). Given that I won't be at my Burnt River ON DX site until late April, I suspect my next crack at good listenable TA reception will be in the fall.saul Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 09:33:39 -0700 From: vo1_001_...@yahoo.ca To: irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: [IRCA] Newfoundland Ultralight Radio Trans-Atlantics @ Domestics Report Mar 31 Hello To All, High above the Atlantic Ocean yesterday at the new DXing spot @ Bristol Cove Lookout # 1, I spent about 20 minutes around sunset time scanning the band with SRF-M37W in barefoot mode.
