[IRCA] aurora conditions

Regarding auroral conditions, I've seen a rare condition about 4 times (roughly once a year) where TA stations get a huge boost when the auroral conditions are dying down and the K index is down to 4 or 5. The boost is possibly 20 db and lasts as little as 30 minutes. So the dial is full of h

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 26 October 2016

As everyone else has observed, a real clunker for TPs. A couple of island stations provided the only audio today (which wasn't much): 738 TAHITI Vocal by a man at 1302. The bad conditions seemed to reduce the splatter from 740. 1098 V7AB MARSHALL ISLANDS Bits of music noted at 1128.

Re: [IRCA] AM BCB DX….12 NEW Stns - Huge Auroral Conditions!!

Great catches! I've been reading about everybodys experience with this auroral cx. I remember we toured KIRO 710 studio during the 2002 IRCA Convention. The manager seemed very DXer friendly and showed us a binder containing all the reception reports he had received. ms _

Yes, I listened after 14:00 and it was dismal. 612 was poor. And that was about it! 73,...Walt On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 9:06 AM, R. Colin Newell wrote: > I might as well have been looking at Walmart shelves prior to Hurricane > Katrina... > > Nothing there either. > > I think - if I read th

[IRCA] AM BCB DX….12 NEW Stns - Huge Auroral Conditions!!

Hi Guys: More Great Conditions on the AM-BCB this past week including a Nice Auroral Opening last night, and this morning. This report also has some good Western Conditions including only my 2nd Log from Washington State. I made about 20 Recordings on the 1/2 Hour during the Aurora Opening an

I might as well have been looking at Walmart shelves prior to Hurricane Katrina... Nothing there either. I think - if I read the NHP Fish barrel right, today was WORSE than yesterday. On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 8:51 AM, wrote: > Bill and Steve seem to have come away with the most Asian DX this mo

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-26

Bill and Steve seem to have come away with the most Asian DX this morning as the auroral shutdown continued for a second day here. Only a couple of ghostly Asian carriers showed up on 1053 and 1566 around 1330 UTC, but they fizzled pretty quickly. Of course the plentiful DU-DX reports have yet t

[IRCA] S. AZ TPs, Wednesday 10/26

Like my northern neighbor Bill, I too only heard one TP this morning, 774 Japan--not even 1566 HLAZ was strong enough to produce audio the several times I checked. Steve AA7U near Sahuarita, AZ R75; 140' west DKAZ + FLG-100 preamp 774 Japan poor 1340 utc ___

[IRCA] Arizona TP's for 10-26-16

Listened from 1305-1345 UT and conditions was very poor and the only carriers were on: 594, 693 747 and 774.   774  JOUB was hrd at 1322 UT with talk and just above the noise level.   Bill Block Prescott Valley, AZ Drake R8 Wellbrook ALA1530LNP                              

[IRCA] Oklahoma TP DX 10/26/16

It was not a good morning to listen for far away signals. With the increased geomagnetic activity and a local thunderstorm, only a weak het on 1098 kHz was audible at 1036, fading away by 1120. I hope it's better at your QTH. Richard Allen, near Perry OK USA, PL-380 with 8-inch FSL. Sent from
