I apparently didn't miss much the last couple of days, and I wouldn't have missed a lot today either. Only one station managed audio, as Brisbane on 612, after being a feeble carrier, rose quickly to audio at 1354 with Aussie-accented talk, then just as quickly faded down a couple of

You probably came away with the best results on the west coast this morning, Colin. A quick check of the band at 1410 showed only weak carriers on 594 and 693, along with fair ones on 1503, 1575 and 1593. While still in the predawn darkness, the evidence was conclusive that the Asians were not

Am having fun using the south DKAZ with WRDZ gone. Some of what I am getting has been heard thru WRDZ in the past but some of the stuff is new. My antennas could get past WRDZ in directions other than S or SE. A bit prior to the last ToH WJBB rose atop WLXG (ESPN) with oldies and ID as WJBB

Mark, to be honest, I've never looked for Latins from Masset. I suspect, though, that I'd have a really tough time with the lower 48 and BC/Alberta to contend with before I could reach anything in Latin or South America. Walt On Sun, Nov 8, 2015 at 4:48 AM, Mark Connelly via IRCA <

Between the Spring of 1975 and the fall of 1976, I heard most of the countries in Central America, a few in South America and a dozen or so countries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East... On a DX150B and some random wire antennas that actually passed over a 220V home power line. On medium

Is it really as simple as all that? Chile is pretty much directly south of Nova Scotia... and even the western bulge of Ecuador doesn't protrude much beyond a line south of, say, Washington, DC. So you're looking at three or four time zones plus a pile of north-south distance too. Best I've
