[IRCA] Victoria TP's for 10/17/09 First Flush
Listened from 1345 to 1422UTC - And although the lower band (531 to 855) was perky, it was a pretty empty water closet over all. High lights included catching the NHK pips over the hour on 531 and listened to KFQD on 750 (IDed with the webstream...) All the top tier JJ stations were WAY down; S5 to S7 instead of S9+ on the Dual Wellbrook phased array (Drake R8) Good audio on 639 from China. 603 was the jumble that NHP described yesterday. Nothing new here folks. Back to bed. -- ..

Re: [IRCA] Victoria TP's for 10/17/09 First Flush
I'd concur with Colin, an uninspiring morning. In fact, when I first tuned in it was downright dreadful, however it recovered enough to be uprated. I also noted the Japanese big guns to be well down from yesterday. For some reason what seemed to be a Chinese station playiing a lengthy vocal by a woman was doing quite well at 1330, but that was about the only unusual reception noted. Other more regular Chinese catches, such as 945, 1044, 1206 were either feeble or missing entirely. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta c...@islandnet.com wrote: Listened from 1345 to 1422UTC - And although the lower band (531 to 855) was perky, it was a pretty empty water closet over all.

Re: [IRCA] Victoria TP's for 10/17/09 First Flush
Well, I'm somewhat glad to hear of the pedestrian conditions. I went out yesterday in the rain to re-install my Wellbrook loop heads here after the trip to Grayland and then set the alarm this morning for well before dawn. Got up, fired up the receiver and ZAP! the lights went out on three of the four islands in our off-shore county. They were out for well over two hours. All three islands that went dark are served by the same undersea power cable and that is probably what went out. Happily, there is a backup cable or our power outage would have been a whole lot longer. In any case, I heard no TPs this morning, but there is definite hope for tomorrow!

Uh, John, shouldn't you be checking the current draw on your receiver? (hi) Correlation may not be causation, but the islanders won't be happy if it happens again tomorrow morning.

I'd say that John has pulled one of his infamous acts of predicting the propagation, and not bothering with a ho-hum morning! With this weather, no wonder he went back to bed...Walt (working at the clinic today) On Sat, Oct 17, 2009 at 11:33 AM, Nick Hall-Patch n...@ieee.org wrote: At 18:11 10/17/2009, you wrote: Got up, fired up the receiver and ZAP! the lights went out on three of the four islands in our off-shore county.
