Colin, you were right. Thanks for your comments on the Victoria receptions. Friday AM was a VERY good morning at Grayland, primarily with superb reception from Asia. We could hardly keep up with DX, and it lasted late into the morning. JOQR Tokyo on 1134 was in decent audio past 10:20 AM (PDT) (1720 UTC), and the carrier didn't drop below the noise until 12 Noon (1900 UTC!). (I had a recorder running to check the het after we awoke from our midday snooze.) 1900 UTC is 4-1/2 hours past local sunrise!
The other two nights were quite worthwhile in their own right. Bruce and Chuck had a number of Vietnam stations past sunrise while the rest of us needed to get a start on equipment packing. I wish we could have stayed longer! A full report of my loggings to follow... perhaps tomorrow morning as I have an evening commitment tonight. There will be a compiled group logging available on dxing.info and elsewhere, after Chuck Hutton finishes the compilation. 73, Guy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 9:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [HCDX] Grayland (North) report 1 OCT 15, 2004 I have been assigned the task of monitoring the MW band at sunrise from the Southern tip of Vancouver Island while the 'guys at Grayland' are doing their thing (Oct 15-16-17). Here is my initial report. I was up today from 1330UTC on and found the conditions to be slightly above average on Northerly paths to Japan and Korea. Regulars like 747, 774 and 828Khz Syncro NHK were S9+ on the Kenwood R2000 w/ coupled 4' Loop for the duration through sunrise. S. Korea on 972 was easily heard past 1405 with KK News. It had no trouble in the shadow on the 980khz Vancouver B.C. powerhouse. There were lots of big hets, some yielding hazy audio; 738khz, 783khz, 837khz, 873khz, 945khz, 1053khz, 1188khz and a very fady 1575khz.. I am thinking that this was a 'very good' morning at Grayland.. >From Victoria, B.C. Canada..
