Thanks for the post, Nick.   It seems like the amateur radio operators might finally have discovered what fanatical DU-DXers discovered four years ago.   Gary     - Original Message - From: "Nick Hall-Patch" To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of

[IRCA] I DID IT! The QSL I kinda, sorta got.....

[IRCA] TP 3 Dec Victoria version

Not really much of anything, no enhancements, no sudden outbursts or tantrums.. Interesting that Colin was hearing things around 1500UT, brief whispers from 774 was the best I could do then. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): today?

Things picked up a bit this morning, 2 new countries for me (I think. ) 1. LIBYA (pres.) - Radio Libya Tripoli, 1053 kHz 00:59:40 AA chanting, perhaps Qu`ran this time, fade up just at start of recording, no ID. Also made a brief appearance at 0258 UTC with very good strength for about 30

from the Topband Reflector: N6BT, the excellent designer behind the original Force 12 antennas, has studied this extensively and gave a great presentation on the topic at Pacificon this fall. He showed that a vertical antenna at the edge of a bluff has a strong propagation advantage in the

[IRCA] Dec 3 Spectre report - TP

Most interesting looking carrier at 1450 was 1386khz... Other standouts include 738... Like yesterday, fleeting moments of borderline audio but nothing remotely memorable. Looking now I can see that 1593 is virtually alone on the upper band with a modest carrier. Colin Newell -

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP Carrier for 12-3

Another poster day for the December doldrums. A ghostly carrier on 738 around 1510 was the only evidence of TP life, and it didn't stick around for long. So it's.back to 2016 FSL antenna work.    73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)            

[IRCA] 1422 kHz unexpected

Hi all - in the 'knowing is the single thing that most keeps us from learning' department I had skipped over 1422 kHz when I was reviewing last nights' files because I assumed that it was Deutshlandfunk which usually dominates the frequency. Lo and behold when I went back to review, there was

[IRCA] Alberta TP for 3 December 2015

The job had me away for a couple of days, but judging by reports I didn't miss much. Could have stayed away today too. Only TP audio was poor, from 1566 Korea, for about 10 minutes starting at 1440. 1593 was close, but other than that it was just feeble carriers. 73, Nigel Pimblett
