[IRCA] KFKA 1310 CO into IL nicely again

2014-10-18 Thread neilkaz
For the second night in a row, KFKA is coming into my Barrington IL QTH rather well. While I can catch them via sunset skip, normally they are almost never heard later at night. Peak levels make me think that they could be running day rig. Also from CO 1430 KEZW has often dominated the channel

Richard and Nigel,   Considering the propagation challenges that both of you face so far inland (especially during this generally lackluster Asian season), I think that your TP results so far have been about the best that anyone could hope for at those extreme distances. Excellent propagation

I can sympathise Richard, as the Asians have been virtually completely absent here this week also, including this morning.Did have some New Zealand reception earlier in the week, and a nice clear reception of a Nevada DOT station on 1610 yesterday, so I guess it's a matter of making the

Hello All,   Asian propagation rebounded very well this morning, with exceptional signals from both the low band Japanese and mid band Korean big guns prior to 1300. Sunrise enhancement was lacking, however, and signals generally took a dive with the increasing daylight. Low band Chinese stati
