2011-12-09 Thread Bill Block
Listened from 1315-1425 UTC and like the last few days all action was on the top part of the band. Only a very weak carrier on 279 but on the top part of the band was a very different story with carriers on 1548, 1557, 1566, 1575, 1584 and 1593. Audio was heard from HLAZ-1566 and CNR1-1593.

A wee bit better compared to yesterday. SF 145 A 2 K (12:00) 1. No space weather. Listened from 14:45 and still listening at 15:07 as I type this. Nick's DX Fishbarrel has very little activity showing. I'm getting threshold (6 to 7) audio on 1557, 1566, 1575 and 1593 again today. 1566 is the

2011-12-09 Thread Nigel Pimblett
Very similar to yesterday here in Alberta. Japan's 693 was the only one to reach audio today, and just barely, but otherwise all the strongest carriers were on the upper end of the band.1566, 1575, 1593, and 1602 all had strong carriers, but never quite made audio. 73, Nigel Pimble
