Re: [IRCA] Pretty Bad: TPs on Orcas, Nov 4
John, More likely Bridge. I am sure you are getting our lovely weather up North too. Driving rain and wind gusts of 60 MPH. A far cry from what our weather was 6 weeks ago during the convention. Looking at the pictures of the beautiful blue skies that day, doesn't seem possible. I don't remember who mentioned it, but someone was surprised we have such beautiful weather and our population is so low. I mentioned, that they should see the coast in the Winter. A lot different. We are right in line with the Jet Stream from the Pacific, as we call it the Pineapple Express. Storm after storm after storm of wind rain. This started in on Thursday and will be rough until Tuesday. A good day to stay in...Maybe some good daytime DX is in store I did not get up this morning, but around 0900, I was getting JJ on 864. KSWB 840 had an open carrier, so JJ on 846 837 weakly. 594 and 774 were OK. an KK on 972 was weak. Lots of carriers though. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

For a change it looks like inland reception was favoured this morning. I'm listening up at Don Moman's place NE of Edmonton this weekend, and enjoyed quite a good TP morning. Apart from the regular Japanese also had audio from Korea on both 1566 and 972, and audio from China on 945, 1206, and 1593. It was interesting to note that the signals stayed around a lot longer that I experience at my regular southern Alberta QTH. I was still hearing audio on 1566 until 1515 UTC, about 40 minutes after sunrise. Back home things have been consistently drying up at sunrise, which is currently about 1415 down there. Noted several MW TA carriers last night, but none near audio. Iceland on 189 was the only LW noted with audio. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta (temporarily at Lamont, Alberta) ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
