Hello To All, Propagation was decent last evening ,however the noise and static factor was evident as the Solar Index number indicated such. Signals on the band were predominately from 900-1700 khz and anything below 900 was subdued substantially. A few stations already in the ULR log but not

Here at my location 105 miles north of the MB/ North Dakota border in western Manitoba, WNAX comes in quite decent on a car radio with CKSW underneath. On a Superadio II with a Sanserino loop it comes in great. Since WNAX is located almost straight south and CKSW is straight west, I can null

The WNAX transmitter/tower sits very close to the Missouri River. Next time I'm down that way I'll try to remember to get pics of it. The night time pattern happens to line up with the river and I'm sure the ground conductivity has a lot to do with the range considering it's only 5KW. On

CHQT was in the late 1970s.  Old IRCAns will recall the Gnus From the Frozen North column that appeared, particularly the one titled, Read it and Cringe in which the CRTC's plans for high powered stations on the prairies first appeared in DXM.  That was sometime in 1977. KJJR moved to 880

WNAX at 469 miles is a BOG catch here in Barrington IL if I aim basically due west, taking out any WMAM. Ditto further north in Grafton WI (20 miles N of Milwaukee) if I aim BOG properly and don't have too much WMAM. From Barrington, phasing WIND helps. Westerly cardioid antennas also get it
