Based on the recent ocean coast DXpeditions I've included a few suggestions on
your UnID-DU frequencies. Hope this proves useful!

Hi Tim,
Congrats on your exciting catches! Throwing a question out here, does
anyone believe that KFMB's pattern is off a little bit?

I have both. To be more exact, I have an ALA 1530ln, not an ALA 1530LNP.
Perhaps it's time to conduct some tests.

Hi Nick,
<<< Might I disagree Gary? >>>
No disagreement, necessary, Nick!
I think both of us agree that the ALA1530 would boost the CC Skywave's MW
reception beyond that of the midget stock loopstick. Almost any type of
external antenna will do that, as long as it is designed for MW frequen
I agree with Nick.
40 years ago, I bought amd midified maybe 50 Radio Shack 120655 TRF receivers
to have a new winding on the ferrite coil and binding posts to connect it to an
external loop. It was definitely a winner.
I wish I had records of everything I heard with that setup, but I kept reco
Might I disagree Gary?
I think what the ALA1530 could do is boost sensitivity across the
band for the CC Skywave. The old method of coupling a random wire
into a portable radio seems to work at least as well for a 50 ohm
output from the Wellbrook amplifer.A turn or two of wire around

Hi Todd - Re. west coast stations; only two I’ve heard here are KFI and KNBR.
Normally, I hear WOI on 640 at night (nothing at day since CFOB left).
Surprised that WOI wasn’t on your list. I’ve only heard KNBR once, night is
generally KFEQ and WOGO (all CJPB during the day). Have never heard

Thanks John!
I would imagine it expected to hear more stations in the daytime than for
me. What were the notable differences for you? Other than KNX and probably
KFI and KNBR, What other west coast ststions do you get up there?

Many hets this morning and as Dennis at his superior location noted, not
much audio. 1566 HLAZ very poor/poor 1232 utc. 1035 very poor man
speaking, EE briefly just at sunrise 1310 utc presumed DU.

639 het undoubtedly Spain. Frequent here with audio sometimes sliceable on LSB
past typical 640 Cuba / CBN / YVQO tangle.
Look for 585, 603, 621, 684, 738, 774, 855, 1098, 1107, 1413 and other
parallels.

Listened from 1240-1332 utc. Like yesterday morning, many carriers not much
audio.
394 ALASKA, Kodiak KA-20 1240 fair signal with weather forecast. 08/29/2017
594 JAPAN, JOAK, Tokyo, NHK1 1308 woman in JJ. Fair signal. 08/29/2017
774 JAPAN, JOUB Akita, NHK2 1249 English
The only possible signal heard here from across the Pacific was a significant
carrier from the WSW on 702 kHz, most likely from 2BL. It was first heard as a
slight heterodyne against 700-XEGD at 1142 UTC becoming much stronger toward
sunrise at 1200. It peaked at 1201 before fading somewhat at
