Re: [IRCA] Auroral question

Paul, that's because you are in the Arctic, hence the auroral zone. Bizarre things happen up there. My best reception of Bangladesh on 693 occurred only during very disturbed conditions while on Haida Gwaii. Not quite Arctic up there, but far enough north! 73,Walt On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at

Yes, that’s the first rule — NEVER let some geomag prediction keep you from the dials! Nobody here will bet you a new car [or even an old one] that X will happen if the geomag conditions are Y. About the same time all sorts of particles were apparently hitting the ionosphere and driving up

Yes - there is variance. See the link below which shows 4 different measurements of K. For your paths, planetary, although it's an estimated number, is probably just as applicable but once it stays above 5 for 12 hours or more, the difference between one 3 hour measurement of 5 vs is probably not

Re: [IRCA] Auroral question

Yes, Mark. Expect stations to your south to be enhanced greatly, and anything to the north, attenuated, or non-existent. That is, unless you are in the auroral zone. Then expect a lot of dead air! Cheers, Walt Salmaniw On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 12:47 PM, Mark Pettifor

[IRCA] Auroral question

Are there any "hard and fast" rules about what areas for DX reception will be enhanced when auroral conditions exist? (Excluding the gray line effect) My experience so far has been that it seems to favor the deep south and Central / South America from my location (N. Indiana). It's probably

Re: [IRCA] Some TAs in the Mid-Atlantic

Sounds good, Bill. Re: 783 perhaps you can have an AA speaker listen to it, or perhaps there's an ID ToH? Lots of TA hets here in IL the past two nights even using a DKAZ aimed at 330 deg so they are coming from the side. I could use a TA antenna here again it seems. Algeria 531 decent at times

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-25-- NOT!

Down Unders can be enhanced by auroral conditions here, but the K=7 (which hadn't been posted at the time the comments were made) might have affected even the DUs. Boulder shows a K of 5 only, and that might be more relevant here than the planetary indices. Interesting to look at ~27 days

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-25-- NOT!

Note the A index of 50 currently; K index of 7. That should explain the lack of TP signals. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id AM: Modified Sony ICF2010's (4) barefoot w/whip FM: Yamaha T-80 & T-85, each w/ Conrad RDS Decoder; Onkyo T-450RDS; Tecsun PL-310 ( 4); modified

Barring a sudden outburst of sunrise enhancement, I think you can rest easy Gary. Weakish DU English teletalk on 612, maybe some music on 702 (not parallel), and, and, and, one or two carriers. Non-groundwave domestic signals are quite suppressed. best wishes, Nick At 14:04 25-10-16,

There was no reception of 657-Pyongyang or any other Asians this morning, which of course means a total shutout in this DU-dead zone. Not even a carrier showed up, which is pretty unusual in October. Psychological preparation is already in place for extensive DU-DX reports from Victoria. 73

Oh yea, this was all between 2330-0100utc and there was a YUGE signal on 783 with audio - usually I get a nice carrier with little or no audio. Arabic and lots of mentions of Iraq and Syria so I'm betting Syria vs. Mauritania. --- On Oct 25, 2016, at 9:26 AM, Bill Whitacre wrote: > Been
