[IRCA] TAs in NW Washington - as if...

2010-01-12 Thread Kevin S
Hi all:

Hardly even a weak het tonight from across the Atlantic - must be a lot of
snow up north blocking the signals?  Somebody call Santa - he's not doing
anything this time of year!

Domestic reception is quite good, though.  All of the big Chicago stations
are in very strong, and KMOX-1120 with the indoor Super Loop is all alone
over 50 kw KPNW only 250 miles away, so the nulls are particularly good
tonight.  In fact, KMOX is so strong that its IBOC is creating havoc for
1110-KFAB, also tromping a strong semi-local on 1110 to the south.

A very similar story on the east side of Puget Sound - audio at times on 
1134, carriers on 693 909 1215 1269, all of them (dare I say) routine TA's.

Fliipped on the radio after getting back from Calgary this evening, and 
indeed, some TA action.   A quick scan showed audio from the following:


639 Spain
684 Spain
693 UK
711 France
765 Switxerland
819 Egypt
855 Spain
873  ?
963 Finland
1089 UK
1134 Croatia
1206 France
1215 UK
1224 Spain (?)
1269 Germany
1377 France
1422 Germany

Most years, this would rate as a great night.  This year, just pretty good.

73,

Thanks Bruce.  At 0420 now, the TA band seems to be played out.  I never
quite got anyting out of 1215, although I could probably slew the loop
over and get a good null on our local on 1210.

Ah well, only a couple hours until the TPs start... in fact, 747 and 774
were better at bedtime last night than they were ths morning.

Welcome to the world of TA DX.   Things are down a bit tonight, with 
just 1134 & 1215 so far on this side of the Sound.


I've been chasing that 783 station since early October, but it's never 
had more then trace audio.  It hadn't occurred to me that it might be 
Syria. 


Unfortunately it's not there now.
