Quite clear vocals on 1215 at 0440UT, especially when the splatter dies for a moment. Man gave a quick announcement, definitely British English tinge to it, and into another song. It has been hanging in there for a minute, but fading now, may be back? best wishes, Nick _

Don, your comments on the DKAZ vs Beverage is very interesting! I, too, was impressed with the DKAZ in Masset, although there was precious little TA activity during my week there. It was, however, deaf on LW. I had originally oriented it to favour slight East of North, but within 2 days, switch

Re: [IRCA] Interesting Rockworks Discovery & Oct. 25th DX Comments

Guy: Isn't the gain higher with the Imperium loops? And the noise a bit lower? You didn't mention making any adjustment, so are the numbers below raw numbers? I see the ALA1530LNP is said to have a 10 dB S/N improvement, assumedly against the ALA1530 Dave used. Chuck > From: d...@guyatkins.com

Yesterday Dave Aichelman gave me a copy of his HDSDR WAV file covering two minutes of the local SR enhancement we encountered at the Rockworks cliffs in Oregon.

Rather an odd morning. In general, the lower band seemed better than the upper, yet the low-powered 1602 freq had a decent carrier for much of the session. 594 was doing quite well, yet not even a carrier on 567. Some of the carriers seemed DU, but all the audio was Asian today:
