[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 31 October 2015

Evidently the Halloween spooks scared off all the Asians today, as there wasn't one to be found here in Alberta.In fact the only audio to be found was from Australia from Brisbane on 792 and Adelaide on 891. Adelaide was the best, up to a fair level at 1345. Several near audio DU's,

Thanks for remembering me in the wild weather at Rockwork, Walt :-) An ocean cliff DXpedition was actually conducted during extremely wild Rockwork 4 weather (a Pacific storm) in November of 2012. Vicious rain and wind knocked out all the DXpedition gear, but provided good training for future tr

The weather down here in Oregon was equally wild, Gary. Driving by Rockwork, I'd never seen such heavy rain, along with some healthy winds. I just imagined Gary with his FSL battling the elements. It wasn't at all clear who would have come out on top. ;-). Walt On Saturday, October 31, 2015,

Halloween delivered somewhat of a treat this very early morning as several Asian signals reached vibrant levels during their local sunset period from 0910-1005 UTC. The Korean big guns on 972, 1053 and 1566 were managing S9 peaks, along with the NHK powerhouses on 747 and 774. Several second-tie

​Hi Mark, ​As some folks on this list know, I used to run a Perseus SDR blog for a few years, and a Flexradio SDR-1000 for a few years before that. When I had the "Five Below" Perseus blog, I included a "Perseus WAV Files Directory" section that over time became quite popular. At the time, the ho

I DX while watching Nick's Fish Barrel systems and like siblings of similar age, they rarely agree on anything. By 1615 UTC this AM, 972 and 1566 were still in carriers. I imagine at places like Haida Gwaii and Grayland, they're still in audio. Am reminded of trips to the West coast of Vancouve

I have a page of log notes but a more Halloween inspired collection of observations may be more appropriate. Listened from 1302 until 1420 UTC and then checked in again at 1530 UTC. The big NHK guns were clearly spooked by today's ionospheric ghostliness - NHK strong arms were little more than eph

A TOH snip of about 2 minutes would run around 1 gig, so DroopBox is practical if we adopted James' idea of a limited shelf-life there in the attic. (If we were filling up I could warn people that specific files were about to be deleted in 3 days or so...) Regards, Mark Durenberger -Or
