Re: [IRCA] TPs this morning
Bruce, I've heard JOWF at least three times in the past week or so from here on Orcas... and also, Walt and I compare things each morning you'd think that we would be very very similar, but often we are not. I'd imagine that your inland location pretty much dampens the JJ and CC signals coming down the Gulf of Georgia... I know that the Olympic Mountains and possibly the rest of the San Juans that are between me and Australia (but that the Victoria guys at least partially clear) sure makes it more difficult for me to hear Australia from here on Orcas.

Re: [IRCA] TPs this morning
It was dark at 6 AM and by 6:10 it was getting light and the signals were fading except 774 was still in at 6:15. I even tried on my Collins 51J and I could hear them. After 6:15 the IBOC stations wipe out most of the 700's. 594 is new for me but not enough details for a report. I'll try tomorrow. It looks like you get good TP reception there in AZ.

Re: [IRCA] TPs this morning from Queen Charlotte Is etc.
Only a couple more mornings to have fun before heading home to Victoria. Hope everyone is well and having as much fun as I am. My plan is to post as many of the Alaskan IDs as possible, probably at www.dxer.ca website. Thanks, Colin! Walt Salmaniw, Masset, BC. Thanks Walt! Excellent report. You are truly the envy of every DXer in Continental North America. Further to any MP3's that you might post to DXer.CA - watch for a DX Podcast tonight: I interview CBC-RCI Alumni Ian McFarland prior to his trip next month to the Kulpsville SWL Winterfest. He is heading out there tooled up with the ZOOM H4 Digi-recorder as well as an astounding grab bag of goodies, including: A new 2-CD Series set with several remarkable blasts from the past! -- Colin Newell - Victoria B.C.

[IRCA] TPs this morning from Queen Charlotte Is etc.
Hi, fellas. From a wet and wild Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands). Storm force south-easterlies today, so there's horizontal rain tonight. I'm at a cousin of Wanda's (my spouse) and just enjoyed a very nice deer roast. Yummm! I checked my list of Alaskans still to hear. Some are understandable, such as Barrow on 680, but others I don't understand such as some relatively high power Fairbanks stations and Anchorage. It's pretty amazing how strong coastal stations from the lower 48 and BC/Alberta can be here. They're pretty pesky for the most part. I'm surprised how powerful 900 Victoria is all day and night here. 1070 isn't audible during the day, but well heard during darkness hours. As far as 680 is concerned, if it's not KNBR (which is there all day and night here), it's the Alberta French language station. Otherwise nothing else, so far. Conditions these past few nights have not favoured Alaska, unfortunately. That first night or two...forget now whether that was Saturday, Sunday or Monday night, the Alaskans were faboulous. I just started at the bottom of the band and worked up, logging most of them. Finally stopped around the middle of the band at 03:30 local. I was able to mp 3 all the local ids of these stations. As for TP this morning, wow! I'm sure it was much better than yesterday morning. TAs were dead last night, but this morning, after IDing a couple more Alaskans, I switched over to TP to find 1575 just booming in with AFN Japan programmingthis went on hour after hour. I finally got an ID from them (actually 2) as You are listening to the American Forces Network, or such and this was repeated from another site a second or two latter. I couldn't believe the strength (up to S9) and how long it lasted (upto around 18:00 UTC). Koreans dominated this morning. At 17:30 there were still numerous audios available. Especially on the upper half of the band. A quick check revealed lots of Korean stations here...MBC, KBS 1, etc. HLAZ was very strong signing off in Russian at 17:30. Weaker when they came back for an hour at 18:00. Not to bad at all! I was so mesmorized by AFN that I didn't check anything else for the most part this morning. I did here an Australian, th ough at the top end of the band, but not as well as yesterday. Only a couple more mornings to have fun before heading home to Victoria. Hope everyone is well and having as much fun as I am. My plan is to post as many of the Alaskan IDs as possible, probably at www.dxer.ca website. Thanks, Colin!

After the news they gave local Yukon weather, etc. Never did hear a specific local ID. Time was same as in the Pacific time zone. .Walt. Thanks Walt. When I heard that I had the recorder set to run for 5 mins before TOH to 15 after with the hope of hearing the local news. I had previously checked the CBC North website and found their schedule which gave local news at TOH +12. Of course Murphy stepped in and said no way, so I never heard anything after the start of the CBC news. Still, the local news headlines and weather was enough to confirm I did in fact have Whitehorse. Now I'm back after the Alaskan on 1110.
