[IRCA] TP 15 Sep Victoria version

The party (laid back as it was) was over by 1310UT at this location. Given that was when I got out of bed, it meant that live DXing was soon superseded by the vastly more interesting activity of breakfast. And no, using the north Flag didn't help with the DX, or with the breakfast for that

[IRCA] 1017

1017, presumed Tonga, has been delivering a serious carrier this evening 0600UT, but also seriously undermodulated. To hear talking on this channel and discern that it is a woman, not a man, is an achievement, but it has happened in the last few minutes. best wishes, Nick

The vactrol control voltage on the Wellbrook K9AY was fed via the coax. feeder. Two separate wires were used to switch the loops and beam reversal relays. The rare Wellbrook K9AY Phased array used a fixed 360 Ohm termination resistor. The pattern tweaking was done by varying the

--- Begin Message --- Sorry, I forgot to mention that the antennas are in the planning stages. I was planning on putting one up either this weekend, or next. I haven't fully decided between a corner fed loop vs a flag. I'm also wondering if a bidirectional loop, or flag would work with two

Re: [IRCA] September 16 non TP report

Worked like a charm. Best Asian reception in several days. Nothing too astonishing at first glance, but the first time this season with HLCA-972 perfectly readable. best wishes, Nick At 14:46 16-09-15, you wrote: Me too, Colin! Walt On Wed, Sep 16, 2015 at 2:34 PM, coffee_canuck

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-16

Thanks to Dennis for his detailed TP report (and to Colin and Walt for their sleep reports). Some promising Asian signals in the predawn darkness were left floundering without much of a sunrise enhancement boost this morning. Despite this, what seemed destined to be another fizzler session was
