I wish you guys could have been at Grayland in the late 70s and early
80s. You would have moved in permanently. hi. Morning after morning of 2
KW DUs all over the dial. Amazing times.
I have to wonder just what the difference in solar and other conditions were
back then, or if it's entirely
After such nice reception yesterday (and great loggings from John and Gary at
Grayland), I was hoping for great things this morning. Monitored between 11:45
and 12:20 live. A very modest DU dawn enhancement around 12:10 to 12:15. 963
was the strongest of the lot at 12:07 with music...sounded

Good Morning:
Listened from 1115-1233 ut. Asian conditions here this morning. Upper
channels much better than the lower channels.
1503 Japan? 1231 threshold with bits of Japanese talk?
1575 Thailand, 1214-1225. Believed to be the station with very weak
signal
I live about 60 miles Northwest of Grand Island, Nebraska and about 175
miles by air from Omaha, Nebraska.
I am getting a rock solid clear steady signal from Journal Broadcasting's
95KW/1184ft Channel 94.1 KQCH in Omaha on the $10 Walmart boombox in my
bathroom.
Don't know if that reception is
Listened drom 1105-1215 ut and conditions were down from yesterday with no
audio and very weak carriers on 693 and 774.

iBiquity's Coming Soon is not necessarily all that it's made out to

YEARS.

Craig,
I believe it had to do with conditions. In those days, Hawaiians also
blanketed the dial night after night. As far as antennas go, I had the
same SW EWE in those days, I have today, except for new wire. The
strong punch just is not there for the South Pacific, it was in the
late 70s/early
Paul,
Moving to the Midwest, you sould get lots of FM DX there. A great
location for FM e skip and trops.

Dave,
Thanks. Hope you are right. I am not looking forward of another strong
IBOCer in the NW.

I think (and hope!) Dave may be right: 950-KJR is already an HD
sub-channel of its sister station (KUBE-FM), just as 880-KIXI shares HD
space with 107.9 FM.
Haven't heard back from KIXI yet as to their AM-IBOC plans - keep your
antennae crossed...

Kevin,
Just checked to verify this, and KJR is not being broadcast on KUBE's HD.
Didn't tink it was. KUBE is on HD1, and Xtreme Hip-Hop is on HD2.

That is tropospheric enhancement or simply tropo as many of us VHF
DX'ers call it. Tropo normally enhances VHF reception anywhere from
just a few miles (50 or so) of semi-locals that do not always come in to
well over 500 miles. It is normally associated with temperature
inversions,

You guys in Victoria might be getting Australia better than you are
getting New Zealand. I'll uploads my report in about an hour, but
this morning (Thursday) was the second best New Zealand morning of my
life ands a sub-par Aussie AM Given your relation to the Olympic
Mountains,
Hi Don:
Definitely take 205, as 5 can be dead stop at any time of the day. 205 is
a handful more miles, but is more likley to be wide open.

I'd think the improvements in antennas and radios would almost negate the
increased levels of current interference. Thoughts?
Perhaps you can
Hi Don,
I live a couple of miles North of the Southern split between 5 and 205 and
work a couple of miles South of the split, so I drive this every day.
If it is late afternoon or early evening on a Friday, take 205, but you will
be unhappy either way.
If it is 10 AM - 3 PM and not Friday, take
Beautiful???
This is my arch nemesis.
So strong I can hear mixing products over a field telephone.
So strong only one active active antenna in the universe can ignore it.

Sorry, But I could honestly fry bacon on this thing!

Gosh!
The very best morning of Kiwi DX was in March of 1990 when Linda and
I were camped in our tiny trailer at a seaside campsite in the Hoh
Rain Forest, that soggy temperate rainforest that is trapped between
the Pacific Ocean and the massive Olympic Mountains of far NW
Washington State.

I think it has decreased. I remember overmodulation being rampant because
audio processing was still quite crude and unfiltered. Audio was fed in up
to 15KHz, and not filtered at all.
