Thank you Nigel and all the others for your comments. It is rewarding knowing that loggings can be interesting for some of you. I should mention here that I'm in awe with others loggings too like those from Allen Willie and Mark Connelly just to mention a few. When I read daily logs from you gu

[IRCA] Arizona TP's for 11-9-12

Got up a little late this morning due to the cloudy day here in Arizona but when I turned the radio on it was a great day with lots of carriers and audio. Most of the auction was on the bottom part of the band and it was the best morning for TP's this year by far. It will be interesting to s

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 9 Nov 2012

A bit better this morning, with the return of some audio. Japan was in on 594, 693, 664, and 828 between 1345 and 1430. For some reason 828 was easily the best when I started at 1345, but it faded out before the others. VOA 1575 was quite good at times, and Korea on 1566 managed some

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 11/09/12

It was the best TP DX morning of the season here so far. I listened from 0733 to 1326 GMT hearing several Japanese stations (local sunrise at 1301). 558-unID, het at 1228. 594-JOAK, Tokyo, poor with YL talking in JJ at 1230-1235. Fair at 1303-1307 with JJ talk, gradually fading to barely audible

The DX gods forgot to draw the curtains on 594 this morning Richard. Check this out: http://www3.telus.net/public/shallpat/listen/594JOAK_20121109_170428.wav Two hours after Victoria sunrise! I don't believe it either. That seemed to be JOAK's last hurrah, but it's still a strong carrier

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 11/09/12

Thanks Nick. That is fantastic. Great reception. To bad it can't last. It's reminiscent of a time when I listened to 540-CBK into the early afternoon. Have a good weekend. Richard. --- Original Message --- >From: Nick Hall-Patch[mailto:n...@ieee.org] Sent: 11/9/2012 12:20:26

Richard, Congratulations on your excellent TP-DXing catches this morning in Oklahoma-- an amazing list for your location so far inland. You seem to be making some serious progress in mastering the 7" FSL antenna. Unfortunately I missed out on the great TP-DXing conditions this morning because

Re: [IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 11/09/12

Gary: It was the morning I've been waiting for all season. I wish I'd spent more time on 954 and 1242 kHz, and earlier I've figured out, when using a Tecsun receiver, it's best to tune the FSL by ear if possible. The antenna definitely showed off with JOAK this morning. I can't believe Nick'

Shouldn't have to worry about this for awhile yet.  They are talking about a spring 2013 start-up, if all goes as planned.  It would coincide with them also activating their 940 kHz station.  So use this DX season to dig out what you can, while you can.   Sheldon Harvey Radio H.F. - Canada`s s

[IRCA] TP Nov 9, 2012 / Victoria version

Another lively sunrise period today; perhaps not as much as yesterday, but still pretty good, and of course, as mentioned earlier, hearing JOAK-594 after 1700UT put the icing on the cake. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB JJ talk

A successful application for an AM outlet... Don't see that every day. 600 in the West is a country station in Saskatchewan... And with the recent gain of 900khz as a pseudo open channel, makes the AM band more open and less splatter filled than ever before. Our only AM local is now 1070 CFAX r

Has anyone ever had any work done by them? While I wouldn't mind getting a new radio for Christmas, I think my SONY 2010 needs some work. I figure if they take a look at it and/or complete some upgrades, it'll be like having a new radio. Thanks for any information that can be passed alo
