[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 31 October 2017
Another less than inspiring morning here. Once again only a single TP made audio, only this time it was HLAZ on 1566, which was in around 1220 with a hymn, then vanished for nearly an hour before returning around 1315 at a fair level. The strongest carriers that didn't quite make audio were from the Japanese on 774, 747,693. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, AB Perseus SDR with 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

Hi Guys: Here is my Report for the last week. I didn't have a lot of time to review recordings this week as we were Dismantling my 50 Radio Tower and the FM/TV/HAM Antennas that were on top of it.
