It has been certainly a much poorer evening here 
Barry, but the Iranian jammer is still making an 
appearance, and quite a few TA carriers, though haven't managed any audio yet.

Hi Nick,

<<< Next stop, Puyallup? Gary, I think that a
barefoot ultralight might hear it. After all,
didn't Guy Atkins hear Farda on an ultralight? >>>

Yes he did, Nick (on an SRF-39FP during supreme conditions, at Grayland in 
November of 2008). Puyallup is definitely in a much lower propagation league!
As for the 1575-Iranian Jammer, I heard it at S9 in Hawaii, so I'm temporarily 
satisfied. A lot of the Victoria TA's from the Middle East seem to lose their 
steam once they go through U.S. border security.

Next stop, Puyallup?   Gary, I think that a

It's not just limited to TAs.  A few years 
ago you and Walt heard a DX test on 960 from 
Ontario, which was a total no-show here, so it 
would appear that Victoria has an advantage in 
that direction. On the surface, the salt water

That's really interesting, Gary.   I will 
not make any jokes about the US border

Victoria city looks out over about 20-60km of 
salt water along the bearings for Europe and 
the Middle East.  I would have thought that 
the fact that I'm 5 km or so from the water on 
those bearings would negate that advantage, 
but perhaps there is more to learn. I think I 
feel an experiment coming on:Â  we have a park 
with about a 40m high cliff (a little one, I

Great job with the new catches from the Middle

being reported in Victoria seems to be held up

the past that Alberta, especially close to the Rocky Mountains has high
soil conductivity, which seems to greatly enhance receptionWalt

 For what it's worth, I have read Nigel's impressive reports from southern 
Alberta in amazement. The regularity of TPs and TAs he receives amazes me as 
his location is quite far inland, as is mine. The consistency with which he 
receives DUs is also noteworthy. Although living adjacent to the Rocky 
Mountains possibly inhibits TP reception by blocking some of the low angle

Great job with the new catches from the Middle East, Nick! Unfortunately most 
of what is being reported in Victoria seems to be held up at the border 
crossing. Some threshold audio on 864 showed up here about an hour ago, but 
other than that it's just been carriers at this challenged location.

Re: [IRCA] TAs, sigh, yet again

2018-11-30 Thread Nick Hall-Patch 
It's really erratic, unfortunately.  Things can 
be quite strong one moment, and gone the next.


Buthave repeated Romania 855//1179 and Egypt 
864//1503 from last night, but bringing up 
webstreams in time seems almost out of the 
question.   1026 was up with a Koranic sounding 
chant, and the best I could say is that the 
Tabriz stream sounded pretty much the same  a minute or two later.




best wishes,

Nick
