Re: [IRCA] not much TP for 4 Dec from Victoria, BC (any?)

2009-12-04 Thread Guy Atkins
I haven't gone through all of my top-of-the-hour Perseus recordings from
this morning (also 20 minutes across local SR), but my impressions were the
same as yours, Nick.

576 was in around 1400, and sounded like Rst. Mayak. I spotted moderately
strong traces for 972 and 738, but haven't investigated these frequencies
yet.

73,

I checked at 1545UTC.

774khz at barely threshold audio...
and a het on 972khz.

Wow. What a fall from what I was hearing a week ago!

Welcome to December folks.

[IRCA] not much TP for 4 Dec from Victoria, BC (any?)

2009-12-04 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Amazingly poor conditions!   The solar and  geomagnetic conditions are 
completely flat, and so was the DX.   Things were not helped by a new local 
noise source, but there didn't seem much there to be concealed by the noise. 

Many of the big guns didn't even make it to audio when I checked; 774 was best 
and never more than mildly readable.   873 was the other NHK2 signal of any 
regularity, and not there that much anyway.  Only other thing unusual was that 
when a weak signal showed on 1593 and seemed NHK2 (hard to get a parallel) 
rather than the more common CNR1.  

Having said that, 1575 had just about as good quality audio at 1615UT as it did 
at 1415 or 1515UT. 

Maybe Steve Ratzlaff can weigh in on longwave conditions.


best wishes,

Nick
