[IRCA] TP for 7 Sep from Victoria, BC

Checking the dial from 1300 to 1330UT (conditions seemed pretty reasonable here, but not as outstanding as others seemed to find it, though a couple of unusual "barely there" audios; perhaps recording stopped too early) pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at

Interesting to read about the very good conditions this morning on the coast. Sadly, they didn't spread across the mountains into Alberta.Did have my first definite reception of 5AN on 891 for the new season, with ABC news shortly after 1230, but that was the only audio observed.

Similar stuff here in Grafton WI last night and somewhat better TA cx than tonight. Last night the mideast was very poor as I barely had any Saudi audio. The action was mostly towards the mouth of the Medit, although some UK usuals and France and Germany 1422 were in. Nothing came in much prior

I ran a recording of the full AM band TP search for the very first time this morning. I was impressed by how useful a radio like the Excalibur can be at such times. There wasn't a lot of TP audio to be had, but the radio's display made it easy to spot weak carriers, of which there were ple

Hi Derek, Thanks for your question about the 8" FSL antenna. This MW-design 8" FSL has been directly tested against full-sized 4' and 6' sided PVC-frame tuned passive (air-core) loops here, and has outperformed them both in weak-signal DX reception. Its reception advantage is almost entirely
