If the worst of your interfering stations are opposite in direction
from the Pacific Ocean, a Kaz or Flag can be very helpful, as those
antennas have a quite broad pattern in one direction, and a good bit
of nulling capability in the opposite direction.They are
broadbanded as well, though s
When I tried for it around 2315 CST I found rarely heard KFI in the mix with
mentions of "KFI" and "Southern California" during a promo, looping E-W. No
sign of CBS Sports Radio on a really busy channel. In fact, somebody with ESPN
Radio atop currently (2341 CST)... presume usual pest KWPN Moore
Of course reception of New Zealand is considerably rarer in southern
Alberta than on the coast, but I'd been having some similar thoughts
after reading some of the posts in this thread.The season here seems
to be a bit later than observed on the coast, more like August 1 to Sept
15th, but
A pretty limited morning. HLAZ faded up nicely to the last few
notes of the piano music played at the Japanese program s/off at
1344UT (woman in recognizable Japanese from 1341UT)The Chinese
program that followed faded very erratically for the next 15 minutes,
but never amounted to much,
It is interesting that there has been some fine
coastal receptions of New Zealand in recent
years, as I think I recall some pretty "dry"
summer DXpeditions back in the days of west coast
Vancouver Island adventures. Of course,
receivers, antennas and techniques have improved,

Brandon, your post shows the UTC time as being on Saturday Jan 10, which is
incorrect, as next Saturday is the 9th. Did you mean to type Sunday Jan 10th?
I'm guessing that's the case as all of the other times seem to point to a
Saturday night/Sun morning test period.

South Omaha,
A very interesting discussion.
There's no doubt that strong reception of New Zealand requires a serious dose
of salt water (or better yet, a cliff above salt water), but the peak season
for optimal Kiwi reception seems to be from July 1 to August 15th. Bill W.

Just to clarify the starting time of the WBOB DX Test, Brandon, I assume that
the EST, CST, MST, and PST times are correct and that the UTC times were meant
to read 0500-0800 UTC. Is that correct? I want to make sure the test isn't
really going to start at 0100 EST if the UTC times are correct

How about a mini version of the Kaz antenna? If memory serves me the full

And you would be correct Chuck. On the coast, with the water
lapping at your feet, and the next stop being New Zealand. I
suspect that will not generalize well to the rest of the Pacific NW.

If the point is, when to schedule a (domestic) DX test, by all means go for no

Thanks Eric I misunderstood. I am glad Canada is not using IBOC on AM. Here,
the few Canadians I get on FM are not strong enough to lock on IBOC, even if
they were using it. 96.1 Vancouver did give me a very brief RDS ID last Summer
though. 100.3 Victoria is the only stable Canadian I get 24/7.

DX season is all year near the seashore.
Warmer weather gives better opportunities for DXing from the car, campsites,

I generally consider the prime MW DX "season" to end on April 30th, although
that doesn't mean that there isn't DX to be found after that date. I've had
freak midday receptions of WJR as late as mid-May in years past.
I think a lot of DXers shy away from the MW and LW bands from about May 1st t
Were I to read this without any other information, I'd think May to August was
dead in the Pacific NW except for a month of "better" NZ.
As I see it, that time period is not just "better", it is very good. And it's
not just NZ: it is also Australia and the Pacific Islands.

I tend to agree with Glenn and Kraig in believing DX season to be all
year around; there is usually something to be found.
On the west coast, atmospheric noise levels don't increase markedly
during the summer months, but of course, northerly overseas paths
mostly disappear for a month or two a
Ideally winter solstice is the best time but I've found that in the summer

Mark,
There is no such thing. I enjoy MWDXing all spring and summer.
Of course there are times when the storm/noise level is too high, but not
always.
