Re: [IRCA] TP 31 Jan Victoria version.
Ultimately, that or another Kiwi WebSDR will be located at Masset in the Haida Gwaii - which is an awesome location for some great DX early warning data gathering. I’m looking forward to better radio conditions and a higher MUF - looking at 30 MHz of largely empty spectrum is depressing. Colin Newell - Victoria - B.C.

Re: [IRCA] TP 31 Jan Victoria version
Nick, I got up early this morning for the action, and to see if I could hear reactivated PNG Bougainville on 6020 and 3325. Alas, MW was terrible, as you observed, and PNG was not active, unlike the previous morning :-( Walt Salmaniw On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 4:57 AM, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: > A very poor morning indeed.

Re: [IRCA] TP 31 Jan, Victoria version
Of course, maybe, judging by your DX, I should have checked for India on 1566 That's pretty near antipodes DX isn't it? yes...very very close which makes me wonder if this is more of a 'normal' dawn enhanced antipodal occurrence and less to do with the grayline as their sunset was almost an hour earlier than our sunrise. It's encouraging that their signal pops-up every morning on 160m like clockwork, right at our sunrise and then vanishes shortly thereafter...too bad their wasn't a MW outlet there to see what it does at the same time! For future reference when firing up on 160m, maybe you should check out http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/test/display.htm for real time signal strength updates from this part of the world on MW, and see if you can find some other good DX. I aim it west during the overnight hours until sunrise, then shift to north for daytime and evening. Yes...I have checked it out a few times when I hear some TA carriers to see what it is indicating. I don't really have a proper BCB antenna, other than my 160m wire, but am thinking about some sort of loop.

Re: [IRCA] TP 31 Jan, Victoria version
Some years ago, I did an article for QEX on being able to use overseas MW stations as possible indicators of enhancement on 160m Steve. I think you may have helped prove the point, and Bob Brown would have immortalized your contact in an article if he was still going strong. That's pretty near antipodes DX isn't it? Of course, maybe, judging by your DX, I should have checked for India on 1566 around that time; although HLAZ was peeling the paint just then.
